At the old Residential Treatment Center (RTC), Kanga called us nearly every day, sometimes twice on weekends and school holidays. At the new Residential Treatment Center (RTC), she goes days without calling. That is much more what we expected from her. I asked the old Residential Treatment Center (RTC) to not force her to call but I think they 'encouraged' her to do so more than I realized and they had more down time when she got bored. She finally called after 3 days of nothing to ask for more of her things to be sent to her. She hadn't spoken with husband in almost two weeks - he answered the phone, she didn't ask how he was, no 'happy fathers day', just I want you to bring me this, this and this.
It will be interesting if the new Residential Treatment Center (RTC) allows Kanga to become comfortable being more her true self and less of her image of what she think they want her to be. They may be able to make more progress on her adult living skills if they can see what they really have to work with psychologically.
