[QUOTE="compassion, post: 266307, member: 6393"] I am finding I have to. When she was first hopitalized last summer, I wanted toprotect and go back to "normal" life. It did not happen. I have told some of her freinds now that she hasa been out of home sine Feb.3. I will continue to act as her advocate and adovocste for whast she needs. I look for dafe places. WE are transitioning now back home from hopital/Residential Treatment Center (RTC) in about a month. She has to have new freinds/situations. iw ill focus on her neeeds but never gian can I pretend she id typical teen (typical teen). We ar emeeting some new people via a Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) teen meet-up gorup this Sunday. I will focus on intersts and I am exctied for thsi op : other teens that also need lots of adult guidance. Her vollyball coach, right before she wen tin hopital, I daid frankly she is not OK. I donot plan to go into details but will advocate for what she needs: her endurnce is a lot less so wil communicate that. Her godmother doe snot know:actually I am leaving some of this u to my difficult child to share or not to sahre. She said she eants to wait until she is out to conenct with her for her birthday.
