[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 460148, member: 1169"] Kanga has been calling on random days, not just the two pre-approved days that Residential Treatment Center (RTC) told us she'd be allowed to call. Last night, it was the same staff trying again to connect a call. I nearly blew up at her. I explained that Kanga was only suppose to call on the two pre-approved days. She said that the residential supervisor had decided to allow the girls to call home more frequently. I nearly bit through my tongue as clearly this girl was only doing what he boss told her to do. I explained through gritted teeth that we knew from experience that increased contact would cause Kanga to decline drastically and that it needed to be noted in her file that she is only allowed her two calls that were the original deal. I feel horrible not wanting to talk to her but to be totally honest, my skin crawls when I see that it is the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) on caller-id. husband and I try to trade off and force the other to talk to her. Her current delusion is that staff is 'fine' with her dating a boy from the boys unit. Per staff, it is not fine and they had to make a new rule that even talking about dating would result in loss of privledges cause she would not stop talking about him and their mythical dating relationship. Of course, in her little world, it is our fault that they can't go on dates/live together/have a baby, ugh. [/QUOTE]
