[QUOTE="busywend, post: 41617, member: 391"] Welcome! It does seem like you need to take a few deep breathes and calm down some. I KNOW how trying these kids can be. It is a hard life we lead. We have a big job and not alot of people understand it. In my opinion, I think you should allow your child to go to this house to get away. I would contact the parents and tell them you understand your child needs a 'time out' at their house now and then and if there is anything you can help with (groceries and such) you are glad to pitch in. You appreciate they are willing to help your child have this time away to calm down. That is a good thing. It tells me your child has found a way on her own to cope with her life. I know it is not a bad life, that is not what I am saying at all. How do I say this? Here is an example from my own life experiences with difficult child. I moved my difficult child to her father's house for one year (many reason I will not go into - and yes, it was heart wrenching to do). When the year was up we (dex and I) decided it would be good to split time at both houses. My difficult child has admitted to me that she can not spend too much time with either family. So, this seems to work. If she gets extra time (vacation or even time off from school) at either household - she is bursting at the seems to get away. If it is the normal 2 or 3 days she can handle just fine. It has been quite an eye opener for us all. So, I guess what I am saying is if your difficult child finds that getting away for a bit helpful to her mental state - do not take it away from her. There could be way more to the story of this other family that I am not aware of - but these were my thoughts as I read your post. HUGS!! [/QUOTE]
