[QUOTE="greenrene, post: 583360, member: 9177"] Thanks everyone! Reality hasn't set in yet, I don't think. And I'm a little stressed about their parent coaching/therapy sessions because I'm not exactly willing to fly across the entire country with a young baby... surely there are provisions for certain situations though. Maybe I'm just having a hormonal day. I keep learning snippets about various things... like the CPS thing regarding the threats she made against my sister in law. Apparently difficult child said that we had guns and ammo in our gun safe and she could get into it (later recanting that she knew the combination but saying she could get into it using a stethoscope and turning the dial), and that she was going to USE the guns and ammo to shoot her aunt. Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice. She's lucky she didn't get into more trouble for that. Also, and I don't know much about IQ scores or the rest of the testing she did yet, but apparently her IQ score has remained unchanged since it was last tested. So what was "low-average" several years ago is now "very low/borderline." I don't know what to make of that without knowing more about the testing she did. She is also a notoriously bad tester. I am continuing therapy for myself. Yesterday the psychiatrist told me that it may be months before I start to really feel "normal." I told him that I don't think I even know what normal feels like. It's been almost 13 years of difficult child hell, really. PTSD, anyone? I know I have it from my upbringing, and now possibly from difficult child. husband sees no need for himself to go to therapy. But I suppose we all have to operate on our own timetable. [/QUOTE]
