[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 287779, member: 1631"] do and I need suggestions. easy child called us about an hour ago telling us her feelings were very hurt. It boils down to her feeling like everyone there (adults) are against her. They're not, she has broken some rules and there has been some miscommunication on both sides. We then hung up and called one of the lead people and set up a meeting for tomorrow morning at 7:45. We call back to let her know and she wanted us to stay on the phone with her because her counselor was coming to her room. She wanted us to hear what they were saying. The counselor had a stern but not yelling or disrespectful voice. easy child felt she was being disrespected (that sense of entitlement) and started yelling and apparently swearing at the counselor (husband heard that part). She couldn't hear either husband or me yelling to get her attention to get her to stop. Then the counselor left and easy child was sobbing (hysterically) saying she wants to come home tonight! We told her our take on the conversation she had with her counselor but she just couldn't stop sobbing. I told her I was going to hang up and call her back after I spoke with her counselor. She didn't want me to hang up but I had no choice. After I spoke with the counselor (told her we didn't support easy child's rudeness and at the same time were worried about her emotional safety-she isn't one to be sobbing like this, in fact I've never heard her like this) I called her back. She was sobbing that I broke my promise and didn't call right back. I told her I did as soon as I hung up with her counselor. She was still sobbing, husband and I have been passing the phone back and forth. Right now two counselors are with her. We don't want her to run away from her problems but to talk them out. The counselor agreed. She was sobbing hysterically that she doesn't want to spend on more night there. It was really hard listening to her but she shares a great deal of ownership in these problems. What would you do? Have her ride it out, even though she is hysterical? We told her that we loved her and would be there in the morning. The counselors are going to call us after they talk to her, I just hope they can calm her down. I don't know what to do, part of me wants to go pick her up. I do think if she comes home there needs to be some serious consequences put into place-Sorry I'm rambling but I'm very worried and upset right now. [/QUOTE]
