[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 182182"] I'm very sorry.:sad-very: I agree...this plan was put into place for a multitude of good reasons. You did the right thing. You are teaching him logical consequences...teaching him that violence gets a person no where...and keeping yourself safe. Outings with difficult children are very tough. Sometimes we can try to minimize the stress and this is helpful. Sometimes, even that doesn't make the difference. So, there is no sense second guessing, pointing fingers, etc. Just try your best and move forward. Could anyone have done a better job? No! I think it is a good sign that he was calm when it was time for him to go. I hope that gave you some comfort. Hopefully, he will feel stable this evening and be moving forward by morning. I hope you feel better soon. I know my own therapist suggests I take little difficult child rest periods after each one of these periods of deep stress. Sometimes, after real whoppers, I need a full day to veg out in an effort to get myself back into focus. Years ago, it took longer to shake the pain off...it's hard to explain. Perhaps I am detaching....easier with- older difficult children in the picture. Sending out lots of hugs. [/QUOTE]
