[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 684481, member: 17542"] Lil, this is so hard. Can you "go quiet" for these next two or three days and see what they are going to do? Keep it very calm, say just a few words, and let the silences stretch out................and out............ Write it down if you have to. Things like: I'm sure you will figure something out honey. I love you, and I hope things work out. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Stay as quiet as you can, if you can. That's creating the space and distance so he can have a chance to figure out what might be next. It is the hardest thing in the world to do, when you are terrified inside and you have called around relentlessly yourself and have no ideas. But our DCs---and this is a proven truth---are the most resilient, resourceful people in the world. Difficult Child slept for months wrapped in a blanket on a bench and took showers at the day shelter. So...you can survive without a roof over your head at night. Keep us posted. We know how terribly, terribly hard this is. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
