easy child had a great therapy session last wk and seems to have come to terms with-moving back home. She knows it's only temporary before she leaves for college, but her main concern was that she would be loaded down with-responsibility for all of our emotions and actions, and we reassured her that was our job as parents.
So, last night, as part of my Mother's Day gift, she spent the night here.
Everything went very smoothly. difficult child announced he was going to bed, and then he read for 45 min. and turned out the light by himself. easy child studied downstairs, and asked for the TV cord, but thought better of it because it might disturb difficult child's sleep.
Yaaay!
She will not be here tonight but will be here 2 more nights this wk.
husband and I have a counseling session with-difficult child tonight, where we are going to discuss difficult child's continuing attitude that he is in charge, and that rules are for everyone except him. Plus, when he lies, he's not really lying, it was just a misunderstanding, but when we change our minds, we're lying.
We've got some ground to cover.
Still, we're making great strides.
