[QUOTE="buddy, post: 560390, member: 12886"] That sounds very stressful. I feel so sad for your grandson. Did he.ever go to therapy? Would they consider family therapy with someone who helps small kids from homes where there was scary behavior? I.thought I remember that you had talked about services for him a long time ago. I've thought of the knife thing too. Q grabbed one when he was 8 but I wasn't there. My mom was unloading the dishwasher. I've always had them locked up in a separate drawer. Same for scissors, large grill forks etc. He's never grabbed anything in a threatening way but I just don't trust it. Heck, I've even moved candle holders out of certain rooms. I know your difficult child is much higher functioning but for your own stress reduction maybe putting them in a place where he at least couldn't impulsively grab something. I don't know, like in a box on the high shelf above the refrigerator if there is one? Maybe keep one hidden in an easy place for your convenience? Hopefully he has really made a turn around and things will go much better. Will he be cooperative with psychiatrists and tdocs? He has so much going for him...I am really rooting for his success. Would it be insulting to him if you had a daily family list ....just because of the unusual circumstances with selling (yuck, I.know how hard that is) ...if it is put off as something suggested to help remember the details if you get a call for a quick showing.....and let him know that to stay there, all of you have to pitch in? Probably silly, it's just a thought....I just wish you didn't have the extra stress. I really hope your reunion is as joyous as possible. Lord knows you all deserve it! [/QUOTE]
