[QUOTE="WSM, post: 275026, member: 5169"] husband said they told him difficult child would not be discharged without a family counselling session. Because husband was distressed that they were not going to keep him but for 5 day or maybe less, I made a weak joke: maybe we shouldn't schedule it until next month then. He was not amused and is mad at me and informed me coldly that they would probably tell us the morning of the meeting to be there at 3:00, and I told him that if I was at work, they were just going to have to wait until I could meet with them, and that I had a policy (which most of the counselors including our marriage counselor endorses) that my kids were not going to be involved in difficult child's counseling unless they wanted to be. He was not happy with the answer. I wasn't happy with him. And so it goes. After I went to bed he came in the room and said that when I give the DS to the bus driver in the morning and tell him that he wouldn't need to drive difficult child again until further notice, I was not to tell him why. "No one needs to know difficult child is in the hospital." Well, the therapist said the school needs to know, but I didn't point that out. It's true the bus driver doesn't need to know. It hadn't occurred to me to tell him, but ok. Then husband said he didn't want my kids to know. "They don't need to know difficult child's private business." I said, "They are going to notice he's missing." husband: "I'll be the one to tell them." Ummmm....no, these are MY kids and nobody tells me what I can and can't talk to them about, sorry. Besides I'd already told them. husband can tell them again his way, but NOBODY is going to tell me I can't tell my own kids something. So I've got an attitude about that. Emotions are flying high in our house right now. And to make it worse, when I told the bus driver this morning, he said, "Oh yeah, difficult child said yesterday he wasn't going to have to be picked up anymore." So perhaps difficult child already told everyone that he was going to have to go a mental hospital. That would be in character with difficult child's endless quest to solicite pity and attention. But for all I know difficult child said he wasn't going to school anymore because he was going to disney world, who knows what he said. As far as I know, daughter doesn't know yet. husband certainly can tell her. I woke with a headache, but as always work is a pleasant diversion from my real life. :sick: [/QUOTE]
