Ugh! All teens these days are so entitled! Throw in some difficult child - and look out!
Tell your difficult child she will be able to do what she wants when she wants WHEN SHE GETS HER OWN PLACE! It is so frustrating, isn't it??!!
If she is not a mental health issue - why would they recommend a Residential TREATMENT Center? What would she be treated for?
Sounds like you got the wrong team to me. Where was this team from? Local hospital? Mental Health Center? No actual names please, just more info.
