[QUOTE="JKF, post: 585889, member: 12470"] Thanks so much for the words of encouragement. I'm a little better today. Not as much in a panic as I was yesterday but yes, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm totally on edge and I hate it. I worry than difficult child will just show up here again like last time. I have a hard time relaxing and going to sleep at night because of it. I kept waking up last night thinking I heard someone knocking. I'm not scared of him as much as I used to be but he can't just show up here and he can't stay here. At all. It's sad but it's a fact. I talked to the MHA yesterday and they assured me he can stay at the temp shelter for 30 days while he waits for placement in the Safe Haven shelter. They seem to think it won't take that long though. Also my oldest and dearest BFF, who supervises a group home for mentally ill young adults, told me that if he gets kicked out of the shelter that the office of temp assistance would problem put him up in a motel while he waits for an opening at the other shelter. She's had clients in a similar situation and that's what happened. So I guess that makes me feel a wee bit better. difficult child started his lithium and Wellbutrin on Tues and he's miserably tired. That worries me. Tired and cranky difficult child = disaster. So I'm scared he'll do something and mess everything up. Uggggh! Things were going so well! He was in PA and almost settled and I was finally -finally!!!- starting to relax and now it's back to this. I wish I could run away. [/QUOTE]
