[QUOTE="Peaceful, post: 111471, member: 4459"] Thanks Nancy. We too have spent over $150K on her so far and are tapped out. Isn't it a shame? Her therapist said to be prepared that if juvie doesn't work that we may need to allow the courts to make her a ward of the state. Our ins doesn't cover RTCs and we will not mortgage our house or take our son's future from him for this. We feel very secure in the knowledge that we've tried absolutely everything at our disposal - and now the courts - and if it doesn't work, we can't help her. I know two kids who did benefit from going to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) but most don't. I think the key is that for the ones it worked for, their parents stayed in touch and were exceptionally active in their care and treatment plans. My oldest sister was also in a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for a long time. She stayed close to the family but has definitely had a hard road and now that's she 51 she's doing better. But my mom said she'd do the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) again in a second becasue although it took this long for my sister to get it, it would have taken longer or she'd be dead if they hadn't done it back then (this was in the 70's). It's a gamble isn't it? Peaceful [/QUOTE]
