[QUOTE="Calgon_Take_Me_Away, post: 211233, member: 5645"] I guess I also failed to mention how everyone else is adjusting to this major change. easy child 1 had some attitude changes the first week. A few peers commented on her attitude and we talked about it. She said in family therapy that she missed the fighting with- difficult child the most lol Go figure! When he was home for his first home visit, she said itwas weird because he was being so good (opening the doors for others; yes, thank you; no, thank you, etc). easy child 2 said he misses difficult child sleeping in their room ~ they've shared a room for 4 years and now he's "alone" in his room with-o difficult child. He's also made comments about how he wants to be bad and be sent to Residential Treatment Center (RTC) because he misses difficult child and wants to be with him. difficult child told easy child 2 that he won't want to end up in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) because it's not fun. Both easy child's have willingly started helping out more in the house. With me being sick the past 3 weeks, a little more has been put on them. For example, easy child 1 will empty the dryer and switch the laundry over and I'll start a new load. I did a sink of dishes to her 2 sinks of dishes (big pans/plastic containers). Now when I'm back to normal, I have so much to catch up on. I work my whole 40 hours in 3 days (Sun 15 hrs, Mon & Tues 12 hrs each and then team meeting for 1 hr on Wed) so I have 4 days off in a row. I haven't had a migraine or stress headache since difficult child was placed. Amazing how much energy and patience they take out of you. As I mentioned previously, I have a job now. I couldn't trust difficult child in others' care whether it was his behaviors or their enabling his behaviors (was he going to kill their animal or start a fire in their house). husband says it's less stressful because he would come home from work and I'd complain about difficult child's behavior.
