[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 589721, member: 13542"] I understand that strange dichotomy of recognizing our offspring will never be that child again living under our roof, however, that mother's sense of the ultimate peace of knowing they are safe and sound in our sphere.............it is not weird, I think most mothers feel that way. I was thinking as I read your post, that even though your difficult child acted badly in some ways, it was good he was home, in a safe place to adjust to his new medications surrounded by family he could be real with. It seems like a big transition and one which may in fact lead him into feeling better in the long run. All in all, the time he's spent with you sounds like it was positive in many ways, for many reasons. Now your home is his touchstone, not his home base, this is a good thing I think. [/QUOTE]
