[QUOTE="Janna, post: 108552, member: 2737"] Nope, it's not easy. And the home visits, even in 12 hour increments, won't tell you much, David. It sounds like you've been through alot with your son. He needs to show you, at home, in school, that he is willing to work hard at his changes. He is in school at this Residential Treatment Center (RTC)? What are they reporting to you? Tomorrow, I think you should call whoever he is working the closest with, whether that be a counselor, a caseworker, whatever. Ask them exactly what their goals are for your son, and how he is making progress on those goals. I'd also ask about their plans for sending him home. The way our Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) works is, the children are allowed 48 days home in a calendar year. This is because if the child is spending so much time at home, the insurance company wonders why they're in the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF). Understandable. So what the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) does is, they have been sending Dylan home on one night passes or weekend passes, holding off some, and then toward the end when he's due to come home, he will come home MORE, so we can all see how he's going to do. Maybe this is their plan for your son too? Do you know? It sounds like you need to be more in the loop of what their plans are for your boy. The goals, the treatment plan, whatever you want to call it. Find out. It will help you both. I know it hurts. But when he comes out, hopefully he comes out a better person and all the pain is going to be replaced with happiness and better memories. [/QUOTE]
