[QUOTE="Loving Abbey 2, post: 147987, member: 4845"] So I am one of those people wants to rip off the bandaid quickly but ends up doing it alittle at a time. I told s2bx that he would not be seeing difficult child for a while at least until she stabililzes. And at that point we would reassess the situation. I told him that I would have difficult child call him later and he needed to say that he needs to work on stuff so we decided for him not to see her for a while. He agreed to do so, only because I threatened that I would never let him speak to her again. So difficult child now knows, our hampster also died and we buried him today. So she has had alot of loss in one day. While home from partial psychiatric hospital, she had one melt down but afterwards she actually did very well, she followed all directions. SHE EVEN BRUSHED HER TEETH!!! I can't tell you the last time I was able to get her to brush her teeth. I do feel that I am doing the right thing, if only one small step towards it. I think if I cut it entirely with no hope for the future then she would go over the edge entirely. It's so hard to be a mom. But I would rather she hate me for what I've done to protect her than hate me for what I DIDN'T do to protect her. Thank you for all of your support and guidance during this difficult time. [/QUOTE]
