Seussical
glad he is at Residential Treatment Center (RTC). difficult child 2 is escalating again. husband talked to him on the phone the other night and things were going fine. (I am still only talking at my leisure since he won't follow the rules etc) Then after about 10 minutes he started his diatribe about how we didn't do anything to help him before sending him where he is. :rolleyes: He sees someone he knows at the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) that comes down for weekend therapy (I don't know all the details but this kid is a definate difficult child too). So our difficult child wants to know why we never did anything like that for him. Because we all know that all the therapy and medications and modifications we made helped so much to start with. He has it in his head that he can ride this out (like a jail sentence) and at 18 he will be "free". Well because of his offending that is so not the case. Plus the violence. He has been hitting female staff (not just a little tap but all out punching) on a regular basis the last few days again. But it is all our fault blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I have been making husband take the calls from his Residential Treatment Center (RTC) while I take the ones from gfg1s Residential Treatment Center (RTC). The other night I forgot to look at the caller ID (what was I thinking) when I heard the voice on the other end and they said they were from his place I just cringed. More violence.
I don't know where they get that it is ok to hit. Or be aggressive. husband is soooo not that way. I of course have no idea what he saw from the men his bio mom brought home in the couple of years he was there.
So now that we are detatching from therapy with him he is using this as one of his latest excuses to do harm to himself and others. Alas I of course feel no guilt. I really feel very little about it. Which is a little disconcerting.
So now I feel guilt for not feeling guilt. :hammer: Heaven help me. Sorry there is no real point to this post except to ramble.
