There is a part of me that feels sorry for her, but most of me just wants to
husband visited her yesterday and the first 45 minutes she was an insulting prima donna and actually told her father - to his face - that she is 16 and has needs and we should stop trying to control her sex life. Seriously? husband almost left 30 minutes into the visit but I think he was too tired from the drive up there to turn around and head home. The last 30 minutes of the visit she spent showing husband all her hair styling magazines
Today, she was going on and on about how her job coach is working really hard to find her an off-campus job. I said I was surprised that they were willing to assign a 1:1 staff to escort her to an off-campus job when she already has an on-campus job. She said' "oh no, they just drop me off". When I reminded her that she requires 'eyesight supervision' she got belligerant and tried to argue that she has decided that she isn't going to be on eyesight anymore. After several attempts to redirect, she shouted at me, so I told her enough, goodbye and hung up.
I pray that the transfer to the new facility comes through quickly. I need her out of that Residential Treatment Center (RTC), into one with more normal expectations and farther away from us. If we can get her moved this semester, I would likely have just one last visit to her current Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and 4-5 visits to the new Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and then DONE DONE DONE!
