you never had?
difficult child 1 just moved into her new home on Friday. It is a house that she rents with four other women. It has 24 hour staff but it is a whole different environment. husband and I took furniture and other essentials out to her. Bought her a mattress and other such things. I wanted to help her put things away and make the bed and such. I didn't but I sure wanted to.
At one point over the course of the day I was really hungry and thought it would be good to go eat somewhere. She looked at husband and I and said go get something to eat that she would just stay there. What?!??!?! Ok, I guess.
We do have guardianship and what not. She can't go anywere without staff unless she is with us at this point but she wanted to stay with her new friends.
We picked her last thing up from the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) without her. I darn near cried (ok I did cry but blamed it on sweat in my eyes from the heat). I gave them a plant and a thank you for all that they did for difficult child 1. I totally surprised them. But I could not let it pass that they were the best set of people that we have worked with.
So we dropped off the last of the stuff and decided we needed to head home ( I would have gladly stayed longer). husband did not rush me but said when I was ready we could go.
When we got in the car and drove away I asked him when I grew an umbilical cord to her as I was having difficulty cutting it. He laughed.
