[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 281651, member: 6479"] School, definitely. Sis has only been home from her boarding school since Saturday, and she's already had one meltdown. In front of her school friends that were visiting, though. Agh. To be fair, however, it was FAR from the worst one she's ever had, and afterward she was willing to talk it through with Mom. Mom asked her whether she would have reacted the same at school, and Sis said no. She said that being at home, her auto-response is to melt down, and she "forgot" that it "isn't how she reacts to things anymore". So there's a little glimmer of hope. She has also, thank god, agreed to go to camp in two weeks, for two weeks. That'll help. At some level, I feel a little bad that we "send her off" so much, but she's doing so much better away from home. I know there are a lot of families with multiple addresses here, so it seems to be more normal for difficult children. Camps and school keep her busy and structured. Home lets her get bored, and lonely, I think, and that makes her nuts. [/QUOTE]
