[QUOTE="KFld, post: 35284, member: 2442"] Can you speak to the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) about the music he is listening too. I'm kind of surprised I guess that they allow it. As far as the clothes, my difficult child went through a few phases that I just chose to bite my tongue through. He went throught the stage of shopping at Hot Topic, all gothic clothes. He has always preferred black and still does, but the pants he used to wear drove me crazy. He wore the, I think they called them parachute pants, for quite a while. They were huge, wide, strange colors with all these strings hanging out of them. He looked like a kite walking down the street. I used to say to him, none of your other friends wear those and his reply was, I know, that's why I wear them. The only positive thing I found in that was that he wanted to be his own individual and didn't care what anyone else thought. I wouldn't worry about the clothes and the hair. They all go through those phases. I would be more concerned about the music, but if he doesn't live home and may never again, what can you really do about it except not to supply him with any of it. If he asks for cd's you don't approve of for holidays etc. just tell him you don't like them and that he'll have to get them some other way. [/QUOTE]
