[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 136989, member: 3208"] Hi Christy, I had to send my difficult child 1 to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) when she was 16--I also had another child, 3 yrs younger, who ended up being diagnosed with dissociative disorder due to verbal and physical abuse by difficult child 1. I didn't even know anything was wrong til difficult child 1 was away for a few months. Then difficult child 2 felt safe enough to start expressing her emotions and over the next couple of years I realized the damage difficult child 1 had caused. I had been so wrapped up in trying to help difficult child 1 that I didn't realize difficult child 2 was suffering--she was a model student and child so I thought she was okay. Just wanted you to know I sympathize and empathize--sometimes residential treatment is necessary and not just for the difficult child who is going there but for the rest of the family who needs time to heal. Hugs, Jane [/QUOTE]
