[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 243074, member: 3419"] Klmno, it sounds like he's got a great team working with him. That is definitely what I would wish for. I know the feeling of driving away and leaving half of your heart behind you. :( And Bran got it right, about grieving ... I go for wks and things seems okay, and then something happens and throws it in my face again. Today I was shopping with-my easy child and there was a mom in the store with-a toddler boy. He was hopping around, dancing, and she said, "Come on, give me your hand," and he took her hand and walked away, as normally as could be. I couldn't help staring and smiling at how cute they were, and I wanted to chase after her and say, "Be thankful for him!" I don't think my difficult child ever took my hand when he was little. When he got into 1st gr I had to threaten him to take my hand because he was still impulsive enough to run into traffic. Anyway, yes, it is a grieving process. Your difficult child is in an unusual environment and this is all something new to him. He's experiencing it in his own way. Nothing you can do about it so I wouldn't try to second guess it. I would sleep as much as possible! And trust that these people will see through him. My difficult child was the best of the lot at the psychiatric hospital, too, and they still spotted some interesting things that validated my own thoughts. When they start taking notes and bringing you into mtngs, you will have to bite your cheeks to stop grinning from ear to ear and saying, "See, I told you so!" You've got to trust them at some point. I've got my fingers crossed for your difficult child in the coming days and wks. [/QUOTE]
