[QUOTE="Jena, post: 232407, member: 4514"] Hi guys :) Thanks so much for the responses, I'm feeling guilty for having zero time to catch up with everyone and how everyone is and their difficult child's. I barely kept my head above water this week to be honest. LOL. Weekends have taken on a whole new meaning as well. I feel I'm in the right place def with-o a doubt. Everything from the ppl, to the office bldg. to it all. There isn't one thing that I have run into that has made me feel wrong about it. I tend to listen to my intuition with stuff, it's hard at times to hear it. Yet I couldn't help but feel it that day with-that mom and this amazing boy. My heart just melts for these ppl, their struggles, their hopes, their financial struggles. In time I'm sure i'll harden somewhat. I hope not too much. It' sjust now i have to figure out how to help them. They don't really teach you that. They expect it to come from my knowledge of handling difficult child, yet these situations are extreme. So, i was hoping to hit the library this weekend but I had absolutely no time. I go in tomorrow for 2nd meet the family. I'm just going to go with my gut and hope and pray it leads me to a good place and i can be a calming force and seem as though i know what the heck i am doing lol. I think, my gut tells me the first thing to do is establish trust, a connection, just hear them. They really just wanna be heard and validated. It makes me realize how all of us are so blessed truly to have this place, to have our hopes and dreams, and to have our difficult child's. Its healing me somehow as well and allowing me to put stuff in perspective like never before. [/QUOTE]
