[QUOTE="JaneBetty, post: 699830, member: 20814"] McDonna, thank you for your kind words and for telling me a little bit about your story. I appreciate the response. Tonight, while my husband was driving up to see our oldest daughter, the psychiatric ward called and asked him to participate in a conference call with our daughter and the psychiatrist. The doctor had some questions about the medications that our daughter had tried, as well as some questions about some things my husband had dropped off at the nurses station (a letter from the judge and an old flip phone that we activated on her cell account). Our daughter had asked to stay a little longer in the ward and seems to be wanting help, and is cooperating with the care, but she complained about the type of phone delivered (which was irritating for me to hear!) and told my husband that we need to stay out of her room (which has been emptied and packed away). I was hoping to hear some gratitude or contrition, but it was not to be. My husband did remember to say that we are still paying for the last two phones that were destroyed, not to mention that we no longer have a third old smart phone as a spare because she lost it. My husband did not tell her that the room has been packed up, and frankly, I am bracing myself for her reaction to the news. I think she has the idea she is coming back home, but the protective order is in effect for another month. I remain adamant that she is not coming back here. My husband is more soft hearted about this, but he has said he will stand with me. Rereading all this, it sounds as though I am angry. It's weird to swing between feelings of frustration and hurt and relief. Thanks to everyone again for taking the time to read and respond. It means a lot to me. [/QUOTE]
