[QUOTE="HollySunshine, post: 703261, member: 21075"] S has done a great job, until recently, of confining her behavioral issues to the family home so she doesn't yet qualify for an IEP. However, the last two months have seen her behavior shifting so radically that we've received multiple calls from teachers as well as her calling us IN CLASS to yell and swear at us. So maybe soon she'll qualify...but even that would be a hollow victory, because it would just be another confirmation for S that there is no reason to strive for better from herself. We're trying to take care of ourselves. I've actually quit my dayjob because the added stress of the daily bus commute and responsibilities made it impossible for me to give enough support to the family, and the stress of dealing with S made it impossible to do my work well. I am getting myself into therapy, and my partner is getting his insurance stuff straightened out so that he can as well. In the mean time, we're able to get a monthly overnight for the kids with his parents and are working to get a monthly overnight with the kids' mother. She's recently found more stable housing, where the kids are welcomed. While the situation isn't ideal, we're desperate enough for respite that we can't pass up the offer. [/QUOTE]
