[QUOTE="Fran, post: 36267, member: 3"] <span style='font-size: 11pt'>Linda, I get what you say about being annoyed that you are being chastised for being negative. On the other hand the therapeutic team are focused on the difficult child's and not us. The truth is that if they are being realistic, having negative responses to the wear and tear of difficult child's behavior on the one's who care and love difficult child's the team would deal with it too. It isn't wise to be too euphoric about a difficult child or too negative. Their behavior will swing once again to the other side. The team should know this. The team isn't really interested in your emotional state except as the caretaker of the difficult child's. We are parental units and are expected to heal ourselves or seek therapeutic help elsewhere. Just remember they are just paid help and the buck stops with you. You are entitled and responsible to do what is necessary to keep yourself healthy and balanced. Respite is a good thing for as long as you can get it. Vent as long as you want because in the end you get up the next day and do the same thing over and over. </span> [/QUOTE]
