[QUOTE="maril, post: 248422, member: 5937"] Oh, compassion, thank you! It means a lot to have your support and understanding. I am in another one of those can't stand to be in my own skin type of days and I needed to hear your encouraging words. You seem to handle things well! I send hugs your way, too. I remember reading some recent posts of yours about the difficulty of hanging in there with your daughter being in the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). We haven't discussed the treatment any more today. I going to bring it up again with him tomorrow and see if he is more receptive. He really did not like his first impression of the therapist, a rather direct and no nonsense person (therapist approached me in the same manner but it was evident he knew what he was doing, even though it put me on the defensive a bit). So, I am on the computer here in the next room while difficult child made himself something to eat. Next thing I know, here he comes with a sandwich for me (he usually doesn't do stuff like that...peace offering, maybe?) It was really good but I don't really need the calories!!! Anyway, we (husband and I) have to stick to our guns and follow through. I think your suggestions about the contract, etc., are helpful, too. Have a good rest of the evening (assuming it is night where you are, lol). [/QUOTE]
