[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 490414"] Wow! difficult child 1 used to always want to "be sent away" because he thought it would be better (more fun, less rules) than at home. He got so out of control once that I actually did send him to a short-term residential setting for a week at. It was over a 4 day week-end. He went to their school for 3 days but because he was so short-term, they didn't require him to do much of anything. He loved it there until he found out he had to EARN privileges and if he didn't, he was left behind. Now, when he gets upset with me, he tells me he wants to go back there. I think he forgets about the time he spent alone while others got to go fishing and to movies. He just knows he wants to be anywhere but here. As for the abuse, my boys were sexually abused at 3-1/2 years old. difficult child 1 still has the "body language" 10 years later. He is very "body protective" because of the abuse AND the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). If he were to make that claim today, someone might say the same thing. BUT I would believe him until it was PROVEN to not be true. In your case, with the threats against you also, I just don't know. It is really a hard line to walk and I feel for you. I don't know what I'd do in your shoes. All I can offer is lots of VERY supportive {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} [/QUOTE]
