[QUOTE="tammyjh, post: 107929, member: 3072"] I will have to check that book out..thanks for the suggestion. Her dad doesn't help or hinder. He pays his support but doesn't want to be involved other than that. She used to visit a couple times a year but in the last year or so, his interest in dealing with her and her issues for even a short period of time has dwindled. We don't have respite at this time but will be filling out the paperwork soon. I talked to our case manager just last week about this because there aren't too many family members willing to sit with her anymore. Yes, I know she liked the structure at the hospital although by the end of her 6 month stay, she was tired of it and just about as hard for them to deal with as she was for us. We often refer to it as a cookie dispenser analogy. Abby views people like cookie dispensers. When you are dispensing the right kind of cookies, she's very happy. When you run out of cookies, she then looks for another dispenser. By the end of her stay, all the cookie dispensers on her unit were empty(in her view). [/QUOTE]
