[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 417770, member: 1233"] :highvoltage::not_fair: (((((hugs))))) I know it must have been so awful for you when she flipped out that way. Taking her back right away was exactly the right thing to do. So was trying to do things that were "not fun" but were things that had to ahppen. Some of us make the mistake of making home visits all about the difficult child, not pushing them to do anything that they don't want to, doing things that normally wouldn't be done, etc... It is a mistake Occupational Therapist (OT) do that because then the difficult child figures that coming home iwll be just like the home visits and things turn ugly when they are discharged home to find that the world still doesn't revolve aorund them, than homewrok still has to be done, chores are still there and there isn't a party every night just to celebrate them. So you did things just right even if the outcome was not something anyone wants to endure. GOOD JOB!! Are you seeing a therapist? If not, contact the caseworker handling your daughter and ask her to help you get set up with a therapist. PTSD is no fun and there IS help for it. I promise. [/QUOTE]
