[QUOTE="firehorsewoman, post: 536740, member: 15804"] Janet thanks for your insider's perspective. Ktllc, I can relate. On the days I get the kids after school, I figure that difficult child has been holding it together all day long and then erupts where he feels safe. Also, he does not transition well so, I am prepared for that on the days I first get him back. But what doesn't make sense to me are days like Saturday and Sunday this past weekend. Both days were low stress, low pressure, almost identical days (which is rare but baseball is over and we had two very calm days in a row) yet lots of meltdowns on Saturday and none on Sunday. Another thought I have had is that maybe difficult child has "X" number of meltdowns that build up in him throughout a day or week...and once that magic number is reached he is good for awhile? Maybe I am trying too hard to figure this out but who could blame me? Don't we all want to make things better for our families? Don't we all want more control over the situation and more options than medication? [/QUOTE]
