[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 373790, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]DF, I truly understand your feelings. Putting the relaxed, spirited person you are away to deal with the daily antics of difficult child. The professionals that have no clue as to the daily battles over little things like taking a shower or taking medications. Think positive thoughts ~ does this woman have children? What is her degree? OMG. Sounds like the late '80s, early '90s when everything was a mantra "happy thoughts, happy thoughts". Every single time kt or wm would return from Residential Treatment Center (RTC) husband & I would have to get our battle gear out; literally when things had been so calm & to start to have to lock up knives, medications, anything else that I perceived could become a weapon wiped out all the therapy sessions, the rest & the reconnections. Stress & resentments began the minute a discharge date would be announced. husband & I would begin teaming together yet pulling apart as a couple. It was a sad commentary on our home life. I expect you're feeling the same way. Hold onto every part of you that you can. Don't let your difficult child take it all away. Hold onto what is most precious. As commited, as much as we love our children, the loss of self is simply not worth it. You will lose a reason to care about difficult child. Take care of you, DF. ((((hugs)))) [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
