[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 85984, member: 1550"] I am going to warn you away from foster care. THAT is somewhere I wouldn't want to go. Not only will you probably feel like you lost control of your child (no matter what they tell you in advance), but the foster parents won't know any more about raising your child than you. There is no advanced or particular training for foster parents, and many think they are diagnosticians. And you will probably be judged harshly. As a former foster parent who didn't get the training I was promised (and I wasn't alone), I saw all this first hand. You're taking a chance. An Residential Treatment Center (RTC) probably won't cure your child, but it's a place for him and you to have space from each other. Others will come along, but I had to put in my opinion of foster care. It isn't that easy to get your child back either in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
