[QUOTE="4Tall, post: 654619, member: 18917"] Hello, new to board. My 11 yr old Difficult Child has been in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for approx 1 year and is actually improving! We have a tentative discharge plan for Aug if things keep going well. A year ago, he had been becoming increasingly violent & angry. Several 5150 hospitalizations over 6 months & blowing out at school & at childcare. Residential Treatment Center (RTC) was the best thing for him. He is not a very abstract thinker, but he is definitely becoming more conscious about his behavior. And I am able to talk to him about things that happened to him in the past (before he joined our family at age 3) that created the need for him to develop survival skills that he needs to change now. Just had a great 5-day home visit with- him over Spring Break & I have a lot of hope for his return. On the other hand, my 16 yr old Difficult Child is also in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for 3+ years and I doubt if he will ever live at home again, due to safety issues. Residential Treatment Center (RTC) has been a lifesaver for our family. The bottom line is that change had to happen. The violence and out-of-control behavior had to stop. [/QUOTE]
