[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 250464, member: 6546"] Hi Donna-- I would not be too quick to judge the ex harshly... Like many of us, she may have been stressed, out of ideas, and just plain feeling stupid and helpless as a parent. She may have blamed herself for all of difficult child's behaviors and rationalized the reasons he may have done them. {As in [I]Well, I know he was angry because I grounded him...so that's why he punched me. I'm sure he didn't mean it, He was just upset[/I]...etc etc etc} And she may have just plain been too embarassed to admit all of her failings and was hopeful that her son only needed a different environment with a "stricter" authority figure, such as his Dad. Perhaps if you, husband and the Ex could work on contributing to a Parent Report together...so you have more material to use when requesting an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or other placement for him? Difficult, I know...but perhaps well worth the effort? --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
