[QUOTE="Fran, post: 234639, member: 3"] Transitions are hard for our kids. Some have a problem worse than others. Having to go to respite certainly makes oppositional kids dig in their heels. I'm sure his reaction is a multitude of emotions. He doesn't like change. He doesn't want to miss anything at home. He is anxious about walking into another home. The respite home is probably not nearly as tolerant of his difficult child behavior as you are. He isn't going to like the idea that you are getting a break from him. He is self absorbed and your families needs are of no concern to him. The alternative is to be so totally burned out that you and husband and easy child end up being people you don't want to be. He isn't being mistreated. He is safe. He doesn't have to like it but he has to go. in my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
