[QUOTE="DDD, post: 497910, member: 35"] Before the MH meeting next week I would get my "ducks in a row". I know how difficult it is to be in an adveserial (is that spelled right?) position with "authority figures". Seems to me that difficult child will be paying great attention to your responses..and even facial expressions. As he is nearing discharge and relocation I think it's important for him to think "positive" thoughts about his future. These jerks are in the drivers seat but he is preparing for a huge transition...very soon. If he holds them in distain or feels it is a "them against us" situation I think it diminishes his chance for success and growth. in my humble opinion, I think you need to anticipate what may or may not be said/offered and unless it is something WAY over the top go along with it. It really is temporary and if it can not harm him I'd try to picture it as a baby step toward the final goals. As it gets nearer are you more excited, frightened or anxious? It really is a huge step and we will all be on your side and praying that difficult child can adjust well. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
