[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 256363, member: 3907"] Doll, Please be gentle with yourself. You did the best you could with what you had, and when you knew better you did better. I know you know that, but I hope it helps to know that we understand. Another one whose difficult child is in Residential Treatment Center (RTC), in my case, a permanent assisted-living arrangement. No, it's definitely not a cure-all. Honestly, I think the best thing about my difficult child's Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is the 24/7 supervision, high structure and constant monitoring, which are impossible to provide in a home setting. Whenever difficult child comes home for a visit, even a short one, he regresses. Home for more than a few days, and he's right back to square one. It's one of those "He can work very well, when cornered like a rat in a trap" kind of situations. He does well only because he has to. It's definitely not a magic bullet, and the financial burden is downright SCARY. Trinity [/QUOTE]
