[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 272842"] Prayers and good thoughts. My #1 concern right now would be school refusal. I would push push push to have the behavioralist address this pronto when it occurs. All else, unless it greatly influences you at home, I would try your best to [B][COLOR=red][U]detach.[/U][/COLOR][/B] Let your child know that she is loved, but at the same time, let her know that she is responsible for her behavior and life and [B]let others help you.[/B] in my humble opinion, you have been through too much and have too much at stake. I would not meet therapists, teachers and such at schools unless it is a planned school event or a very unsual circumstance. The key words are "very unusual." Use emails and phone calls. If you have to meet, I would keep it brief. Do not reward any inappropriate behavior with your attention. Remember, your attention is a powerful thing. Keep it special. Let your child try to work out problems. Let her try to cope with inappropriate behavior. You might give a gentle assist from the sidelines...that's about it. Let' her learn to stsand up for herself. Give yourself a break. Let teachers and therapists do what they need to do. You can provide input. That is an appropriate role. Do not do it all or nearly all. Do not let yourself get burned out or allow the child to think that you will always be there every inch of the way. Allow them to understand that they will have to develop skills to learn how to help themselves. [B]You need your energy....put problems back into the hands of your child and the special needs teachers and the therapists who work with her.[/B] If difficult child sees that she has some control of her own behavior...an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) wont be necessary. If you implement changes and things worsen, an Residential Treatment Center (RTC), would not be out of the question. Hopefully, it wont come to that...
