[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 370886, member: 1169"] Oh, don't worry about laughing - it is funny. I originally typed the post with a :rofl: but I was afraid someone would think I was being insensitive. Glad you all laughed too - when the lead investigator told me I kind of snorted and then the whole team started giggling - I think working with or parenting a difficult child warps your sense of humor. I told Kanga today that we knew and she basically said it wasn't my business and she wasn't going to discuss it with me, it went downhill from there and she ended up refusing husband's visit this week and slamming the phone in my ear. husband is actually relieved - he really didn't want to visit but felt obligated since he had told her he was coming (pre-incident). I left therapist a message saying visit was canceled per-Kanga and that she was refusing to talk to us. Kanga is so easy to predict (for me at least). I predicted this incident - sadly at least one Residential Treatment Center (RTC) staff didn't take me seriously. Now I predict that she will attempt to find wiggle room in the shunning and get at least a few youth and/or staff on her 'side'. Then the single-sex classrooms/work groups announcement will come out. She will either (1) create a crisis to get hospitalized so she can be around a new peer group and then will make up stories at the hospital in an attempt to get DCFS to order her moved to a different Residential Treatment Center (RTC) (2) she will start hitting people who 'think bad things' about her or (3) run. There is a slim chance that she will completely dissociate and just live in her fantasy world where she is popular and a princess but I think she'll crash into reality too often for the dissociation to be long term. I'm taking the other 3 on vacation so after tomorrow I do not have to deal with any Kanga-issues for FIVE WHOLE DAYS!!!! [/QUOTE]
