[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 279363, member: 2459"] First of all, what your easy child said to the CPS made me laugh out loud. Good Girl!!!! Not a funny situation but gotta love her spunk!! Sounds like your counselor is on the ball. I can understand your husband's denial [B]to a point [/B]but he's got to get his head out of the sand. Personally, when emailing the pictures to the counselor for the appointment, I wouldn't say anything about not discussing them with your husband. If the pictures are another indicator of why Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is needed, your husband NEEDS TO KNOW THIS and why. Maybe tell the counselor if he thinks they are just boys being boys pictures (but I doubt he will), ok, don't mention them then. Your husband needs a huge wake up call and maybe the verbal equivelant of a slap upside the head. If difficult child's past behavior hasn't been enough for the man to see there is a problem, maybe the counselor can make it clear. If that doesn't do it though, you will have to do what you need to do to keep the other kids safe. If that means leaving, you have to do it. I'm not in any way saying that your difficult child is a lost cause but he needs treatment. If husband won't do it and you and the other kids stay, something else WILL happen and it could be something very, very tragic. But, fingers crossed that husband will get a clue at the counseling appointment. Please let us know how it goes. HUGS. [/QUOTE]
