[QUOTE="compassion, post: 288071, member: 6393"] I actually was dealing with this today. Since difficult child has been out of the hospital May 15 she has been to this pyshcologist, this is the third time. I have been 2-3 times a week. I am trying to get difficult child gradually adjusted, in short spurts. I told t-doctor the last time and today, 20 min. with her and then difficult child ( a lot of denail/focus issues) take a break and we all connect. After 30 min., I knocked on the door. difficult child had been dealing (for her) pretty deeply. It is important though that I communicate what is happening ( there had been much chaos/drama last night and this morning) I think it is essential to be on the same page,to focus on what is essential. It does take time. Focusing on coping skills to deal with the extreme impulsivity of difficult child is key right now. For me, it is has been a huge deal just getting her there. Transitions are huge for her. I want to keep expectations realistic. We are dealing with basic safety stuff with her. There has been progress but it is eeny tiny baby steps. I am focusing on basics like taking her medications, her contacting me more, and communication and basic self care/health issues. Transitions are huge for her. It is exhausting and husband and I are putting our rest as a top priority. Comapssion [/QUOTE]
