[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 165439, member: 3626"] Honestly, if it is only 3 months, the odds are it won't do much good. It took him 12 years to grow his defenses, etc. It usually takes a lot longer than a short stay to tear them own and then rebuild healthy reactions. I know my daughter basically honeymooned for the first 12 months she was in her Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Staff would ask me (in very roundabout ways why she was there). In month 12, they quit hinting and started asking me how I had coped with these behaviors for so long. That being said, they could help him work on some of his issues and at least give him a coping skill or two. It's a tough decision. As in many things, you know your son best. If you think it will help him, go for it. If you think it will do little or no good and just disrupt his and your life for no reason, then see if you can put if off until he shows more signs of needing it. [/QUOTE]
