[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 570588, member: 1967"] Nancy, that sounds wonderful. I am so happy that you had a peaceful day that included your difficult child. She does sound like she is trying. Our difficult child called last night for the first time since she left. It was her usual "all about me" . . . she was upset that she wouldn't have any presents and that it would be a sad Christmas for her. Not once did she ask about us. She did say that she signed the full release for husband and me but had not signed one for the interventionist. I told her she had to sign one for her, too, before we would send her anything including her Christmas presents. I ended the call because she was upsetting me with her usual behavior. I know it is not realistic to expect a big change in a week but I just didn't want to have to deal with it on Christmas eve. Tonight she called on our home phone and said she had forgotten our cell numbers and asked us to call back and leave the numbers on the answering machine. She did sound calm and just wished us a merry Christmas. husband called back and left the cell numbers but we haven't heard back from her. easy child came over last night and we went out for dinner and then watched It's a Wonderful Life together. We got up this morning and opened presents. She was thrilled with her Sperry's (I was with her one day when she picked up a pair of glitter Sperry's and tried them on so I went back and bought them for her) and IPod touch. She spent the rest of the day transferring songs to the Ipod. I could tell that easy child really put thought into our presents which I really appreciated since that is always lacking when difficult child gives us presents. husband cooked our Chrismas dinner making all of easy child's favorites and then she went back home. So now its just the dogs and me lounging in bed and I am spending my evening surfing the net. I hope everyone else had a peaceful day, too. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
