[QUOTE="ck1, post: 114840, member: 3767"] If your mommy intincts tell you she's going to Residential Treatment Center (RTC), then that's what you pursue. You do know what's best for your kids. I would listen to their opinions and thank them, but that's it. You don't have to follow them. As for your daughter doing great there? Could be a honeymoon period, could be due to the change in scenery. Either way, it seems she has some control over it. Maybe you are her trigger or just hearing no is a trigger and she doesn't hear that much over there. When my son was at Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and being an absolute perfect role model for the other kids (the staff joked that they wanted to hire him) I told him, "that's great! you show me you can do it here and I will not tolerate any less at home". My expectations are higher now and no temper tantrums for not getting his way, that's life. How far is your friends house? You may want to consider doing as much as possible with your daughter while she's there. Only because she needs to know that you are very much in her life and still calling the shots. This may be like a vacation for her and that can't go on too long or the fight when it ends may be like no other!!! Keep pushing for the Residential Treatment Center (RTC), get as many resources and as much information as possible. When you have it all, then you can make a decision regarding which is best. If you give up, your options are limited. [/QUOTE]
