[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 18291, member: 393"] I have plans with kt to leave for our annual cook off on Friday morning. Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is already seeing a huge increase in her anxiety. Tonight she called fixated on hurting grandpa's feelings. "What if I say something wrong to Grandpa, Mom? What if I hurt his feelings?" Had to reassure kt that Grandpa is a tough old dude - 78 years old. That he doesn't offend easily. Then I asked her what she could do if she said something "wrong" to Grandpa. "I could apologize". Seems reasonable to me. kt is admittedly anxious - hasn't seen extended family for almost a year. We have a long drive on Friday - we can spend mom/daughter time. There is no rush to be anywhere - no real schedule. However, she has a lot of family who are chomping at the bit to see kt. She's loved. Keep your fingers crossed that she can maintain. She's excited & scared. therapist & I worked out a "crisis plan" if necessary for this coming weekend. kt & I have worked out secret cues to help her. If need be, we will leave early & head back home. [/QUOTE]
