[QUOTE="bran155, post: 215776"] You guys are so great!!! Thanks so much for all of the pats on the back and the words of encouragement. I appreciate your support more than you'll ever know!!! :) Star: what a great post!!! Actually it's - PRICELESS!!! LOL :) Last night went really well too. She came home at 8:30 and was pleasant. She and I actually watched an entire movie together. We laughed and I really enjoyed her company!!! What a switch!!! She went to bed without any problems. It is so nice to be able to be in the same room with her without all of the bottled up tension, without waiting for the fuse to blow. She is really a great kid when she wants to be. She has her first therapy session today. I hope she doesn't give me any problems. We will see. My sw is calling the Student Advocacy Board to help with finding her a school placement. The Board of Ed has been trying for a year to place her to no avail. No one wants to even interview her!!! She has been home from the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) since Feb. 08, almost an entire year has gone by and no school as of yet!!! She actually wants to be in school.
