[QUOTE="slsh, post: 339491, member: 8"] Linda - the team knew when they came up with- this plan that they were sending kt home to a single mom who is still battling health issues (what was it.... "adult at risk"?). It's absolutely irresponsible for them to have known that, to have promised services, and to *still* have not provided them. I have to tell you, it makes me nervous that kt is home alone. But .... you know that I'm a control freak and slightly neurotic, intensely overprotective, etc. ;) Looking at this statement from my own peculiar little place in the world, based only on my experience, it's a very familiar sentiment. Not so much with thank you, because he hasn't been here in so long (though heaven knows, it would be nice not to still be getting calls about his latest disaster) , but more so with- Boo. When you have a child with a severe enough disability that it prevents you from gradually stepping back... well, there are times when it just slaps you in the face and you think it's not supposed to be this way. Anger and resentment can sneak in there - darnit, why the heck can't I go out for the evening or get a few hours to myself or start to move on to the next phase of my life which is supposed to be one without phone calls, staffings, crises? It's the nature of the beast and in the end I think we learn to live with it via a combination of making accommodations that we can and forgoing other things for ourselves. Nope, it's not supposed to be this way but then again, our kids were supposed to be healthy. Brakes need to be fixed. You need to be back in rehab. Kt either will or will not rise to the occasion, but the team needs to provide promised services rather than dump this back on you, just in case. Hang in there, hon!! [/QUOTE]
