[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 82114, member: 393"] I'm hugely disappointed; oddly relieved. My body has been telling me something is up for the last 2 weeks & I've been waiting for blood work results to come back in...still waiting for new neuro doctor to call me. I'm calling once again today & then having my GP call. I'm going for T'giving weekend - husband isn't too happy about leaving town on a holiday - leaving wm here. Suggested that he stay here while kt & I travel. Nope! Not happening. I'm no longer traveling alone in a car. I don't have the stamina to drive 6 almost 7 hours with kt in the car. husband & I have wanted to make a trip out to Colo Springs to visit his parents. Think we can do this with kt; unlikely with wm. husband was trying to figure out a way for us to take separate planes or cars. No!!!!! I personally don't care if wm is here "alone" on a holiday anymore. wm wants to be a part of this family, he knows what to do. It's been almost 3 years of out of home placement - he's yet to get a clue. With all the help & interventions, it's just not clicking. Part of it's hard wired - a good part of it is deliberate. He likes playing "poor orphan boy". Likes the drama & attention it gets him. Not at group home - out in the public though. Funny thing is that as he gets older; less childlike more adult looking it isn't working out there either. No one cares. Told husband I'm not putting the family's life on hold; not remaining in limbo because wm doesn't get it. Maybe if we leave town once & a while he'll start making some kind of headway. He'll not likely live here again - he may get visitation. He may get to come home for holiday dinners & other celebrations. Thanks for the shoulder - I'm done with the whine. I need to get ready for PT & have a few blood tests scheduled this morning. [/QUOTE]
