[QUOTE="buddy, post: 495180, member: 12886"] OH wow, that is really a good point. Well all of it is good. Many of us here have little by little grown into having a child with special needs. You had a child who seemed ill maybe but there was hope she would just get over it. OF course you are mourning your dream for her. You still get hope of her recovery for sure! It may just be on a different time line. She is still gifted and maybe just needs a modified schedule, not classes...maybe she needs to do it in a longer time frame??? IF she got sick with another illness would you feel guilty? If I told you my son was going through this would you blame me? Please be a friend to yourself! The PTSD sounds normal. How can you not worry about it going there. But it would make sense to me that she would go to her old habits because one intake day is not going to teach her what to do better. Can you keep track of the hours and what she does so they can see what the issue is? Maybe give them a log every few days. (keep your original copy). You have not failed your child. without you, she would not be getting help. Our job is to be there for them when things happen. we can't stop all things from happening though... they will get sick. Go easy on yourself. your thoughts will influence your feelings. i do that to myself too and it helps to have you all here remind me. Please please give yourself a hug for me.... take a nice bath and feel proud of the great step you took today. You are so wise to seek the counselor and to work on your own depression and anxiety over this.... really good example to set for difficult child too. [/QUOTE]
