[QUOTE="lostofinnocence, post: 620920, member: 17722"] I get 8hrs a week respite care for my 7yr old son. It has been a life saver even at only 8 hrs a week. It gives us a break, my other children a break from his constant havoc that he has become. It allows us to go shopping, go to dinner, resemble somewhat of a normal family life with out all the contention, worry, stress that is caused around our house on a daily basis otherwise. I am empathetic to those families that need it as well that do not have that service that also could benefit from it. My son's respite is only supposed to.last for 1 year, I am going to do everything I can to extend that time since he has become more and more unmanageable throughout this last year. It can be embarrassing to take him to the store unfortunately. I am grateful for those precious 8 hrs a week and use those wisely, such as going to the store and other errands that would be a nightmare trying to do with him. It is a very unfortunate set of circumstances but I try to do the best I can with what resources I have. Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
