[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 245896, member: 3208"] I have to say that if you have to stay with him 24/7 in order to keep him from backsliding then he is not ready to be home. It sounds like your husband was thinking more of his own needs than difficult child's. Also, sounds like the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) was allowing way too much contact. My dtr's Residential Treatment Center (RTC) only allowed her to call home twice a week (except for family therapy which was once a week) and we were to cut the call short if she was using it to try to manipulate us into taking her home. You two are going to be nervous wrecks if you have to stay vigilant every minute of the day and night to be sure he isn't relapsing. Also, this takes all the control away from him and he will likely rebel at some point. I just don't see how this can work if difficult child is not the one in charge of his own sobriety. Sorry, Jane [/QUOTE]
