[QUOTE="Jody, post: 414950, member: 8787"] Thank you so much for the information and the support. I went to a meeting regarding her therapist yesterday. She is going to keep the therapist that she has and she won't be coming home until the new school year starts. I am relieved. I hated even writing that. I need more time, I can t deal with it in my face all the time. I guess I am just not there yet. Maybe it is PTSD, because I can tell you, being around her does bring back all of the old physical feelings and so much panic that I do not feel like myself, what so ever. I do have some good news. I was able to read a book for the first time in many months. I'll explain. I could read it before, and I could give you a definition of all of the words, but I couldn't put the story together, it's as if I never read it. I could read the page time and time again and it would not remain in my brain. I couldn't put page 2 with page 1 and tell you what it was about. I am an avid speed reader and it just bothered me terribly. I thought I was never going to be okay again. I read a 7th grade book of my daughter's. It was interesting but not too long and I was reading like I had always been able too. I am so excited, I love too read. I can watch a tv show and have been watching it for 1 1/2 hours and when it goes off the screen for commerical, I cannot remember what I was watching until it comes back on. That is starting to decrease too. Stress, and dealing with this by myself for years has taken it's toll, but I am ready to get better. I just don't ever want to be there again. I am afraid of when she comes home, it will really do me in. I don't want to have a complete break. [/QUOTE]
