[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 336548, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]After finally getting one tweedle or the other in residential treatment it would take me a matter of weeks to relax - to not be in constant crisis mode. I expect you & your husband will find the same feelings. During the first weeks, demand time for yourselves at home to regroup. You will need it. You may be asked to participate in family therapy - I again would ask residential to start working on life skills with difficult child before that begins. Otherwise, it is a waste of time & energy. (This all depends on the length of time your difficult child will be there - the average stay for kt or wm was 9 months.) This is the time to find YOU, your relationship with your husband & your other child. Your difficult child is in a safe environment & getting her needs met; time for your needs to be met. Keep us updated on how things are going for you & for difficult child. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
