[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 30129, member: 3579"] Okay, so I'm at the point of proposing that difficult child get some kind of in-patient help. Drugs, while a factor, are not the primary issue. difficult child has already been put on notice that we're about done taking his crap, and that if he wants the benefits of family life he needs to start acting like a member of the family. Or else. I left the "or else" open for the moment, because it may include a trip to a Residential Treatment Center (RTC), and I know nothing about how to choose a treatment facility, which ones are worth using, which ones to stay away from, and which type of treatment he needs. I've seen success stories here, and I've heard absolute nightmares about facilities. How do you choose? How do you know if a facility is actually going to help, or is simply a "drug 'em and charge 'em" lock-up warehouse for problem kids? (I've actually heard that about one or two facilities already). If it comes to moving difficult child somewhere else, I only want to do it if it gives him the chance to get better. I'm not looking to "get rid" of him, get a vacation from him, or put him some place where he can learn to really polish up his difficult child skills and come out worse than before. How to you know what/where to choose? Thoughts and suggestions from those of you who have been there done that are most welcome. Thanks, Mikey [/QUOTE]
