[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 247142, member: 1514"] Oh believe me you are gonna get so much family therapy with him in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) it will make your head spin. Hopefully the therapist is pretty good. Cory's was and he was used to the bs that was slung by the patients. Im sure he had heard it all. He explained to Cory that what he wanted to do for him was give him the tools to help him learn to cope with life. He explained it much like building a treehouse. How you could build a leantoo treehouse with a board sitting on two branches in a tree but you could build a much better treehouse if you had a hammer, nails, a saw, a tape measure, and a ladder. All those things would be the tools that they would be working on in Cory's toolbox. I thought that was imaginative. We had some good sessions, some not so good sessions and some downright ugly sessions. Kids are really good at trying to deflect the issues at hand away from them. "It wasnt my fault I did XXX, so and so irritated me so I had to do YYY!" [/QUOTE]
