[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 129520, member: 3419"] Sharon, wow, it does sound like your easy child and difficult child changed bodies. SF transference perhaps? :crazy1: I have to admit I chuckled a few times when I read your note... the parts about hospitalizing the wrong kid, and about how you threatened her with-not going to homecoming. Hey, you know where to aim!!! :smart: I think she waaaay overreacted ... to the point where I would put her in the difficult child category if she's always like that. Also, I would have way more tasks for her. I realize she's on medications, etc. but she's got to learn some life skills. Not all at once, and certainly not today! But in general, FWIW. When she's calm, I would talk to her about responsibility and having a 2nd pr of clothes laid out the night b4 school. You will have to check it every night for a while (and yes, she will complain that you don't trust her but she's already proven you can't trust her so she has to earn it back). I LOVE that difficult child gave you a hug. That's the best part of your note. I'll add my own hugs but none will be as sweet as the one from your difficult child. :love-very: Take care. [/QUOTE]
