[QUOTE="ctmom05, post: 38116, member: 2901"] The suggestion of shortening the stay sounds like it might a good idea; your description of the way she acts says loudly that she should not be home alone for hours on end,altho I completely, 125%, understand the part of you that wants some peace. When she is home, some sort of structured activity is a must, for her, and for the rest of the family's sanity. Even if it is just a couple of hours each time, getting a breather is good for everyone, plus it will expose her to the rules of others besides what's on the homefront. Way back when, my son was in a clinically based program that was focused around going into the community to do fun things. The staff was appropriately trained. We were fortunate that insurance was willing to pay; or maybe not<wry grin> as his needs were so well documented and his history spoke for itself. [/QUOTE]
