[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 110117, member: 27"] RM, How great to hear from you and to hear that difficult child is going to be spending the holiday with you, and making strides forward. Yes, I too remember those home visits like they were yesterday. I know I didn't sleep a wink, and I put everything of value in my pillowcase that I possibly could. I had the art of lying down with my arms around my pillowcase down to a science. lol. Like Suz's son, our son also had a quesionnaire to fill out and bring back with him after each home visit. That did help a bit in acting as a little leverage at least. It still didn't take away the worry though - that he'd run. I don't miss those days at all. I think you're handling things well - being excited for his being home for the holiday, but being cautiously optimistic and a realist. Trust has to be earned. Hopefully he'll be able to show you bit by bit that he's working towards earning that trust back. Here's hoping that he keeps to the rules and things go smoothly. Sending many hugs and good wishes your way, Deb [/QUOTE]
