[QUOTE="Fran, post: 146430, member: 3"] Teens are volatile so it's anyone's guess. First, I doubt there is anything said in group discussions that hasn't been heard or discussed before. It is certainly not unusual for a resident of an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) to have a "safe" person. It's their anchor during a tumultous time. (we actually called our difficult child's safe person 2 or 3 times after difficult child came home for advice and asked him to talk to difficult child) I wouldn't be surprised that dealing with feelings regarding b.m. could be entangled with his attachment for ms. H. If she is a professional she will handle this in an approved way. Be the support and wipe his tears. Let Ms. H be the bad guy. For most of the rest of his life, he will hit brick walls and fall apart. Our job is to help them pull themselves together without actually doing or being sucked in to fixing things. I don't think you should over think this one. Let him process and work this out. He is undoubtedly going to have a slip up. He may lose priveledges but that's part of the process of going forward.
