[QUOTE="Fran, post: 235123, member: 3"] JJJ, having been through something like this minus the threats to siblings, I would step back and ask some questions. Are sibs willing to participate? Are they afraid of being with her? Is she verbally, physically, emotionally abusive to the others? Helping difficult child is a priority. Helping the other kids have a home without fear is a priority too. [I]They don't get to decide what is in your childrens best interest.[/I] Work with them to help difficult child. Visit as often as they suggest but don't be afraid to advocate for your other kids to this Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and don't be afraid to say "no" once in a while for a visit if another big family event is going on. Everyone's life does not stop because difficult child is struggling. Ask what difficult child has to accomplish to be considered ready for discharge. Get it in writing. Make sure they don't discharge before meeting goals. Protect the siblings as well as difficult child. [/QUOTE]
