[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 36275, member: 393"] You guys know that I always always stand back up. Fran, you're right - these guys are just paid help. I have a personal therapist appointment tomorrow. Will discuss my emotional "lability", if you will. I expect he will tell me it's a common response to grief & the ongoing stressors that aren't going away anytime soon. In the meantime, I'll do what I always do. I'm really not all that negative; it's more my jaded sense of humor that disturbs people. I'm just way more realistic than the team, as a whole, who aren't buried in the day to day stuff. While the team applauds & rewards for the least little positive, I expect positive choices on a daily basis from kt (& in turn from wm in group home). Well thought out choices with well defined consequences are laid out for kt. If kt makes a choice with a negative consequence ... well, it was her choice. She knows ahead of time. I call it nudging to a more age appropriate frame of mind. To stop & think - connect the dots, etc, etc, etc. It's a life skill that kt must learn. I have my own choices to make as well - taking care that I no longer get dragged down by antics & such. [/QUOTE]
