[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 614816, member: 17461"] And yes, husband is probably bringing our daughter here. He may take her to the lake for a few weeks, first. She isn't doing well. Her injuries were quite severe, and while her recovery is progressing well, there are definite issues. She is in a Women's Shelter in the city where she was homeless last winter. She had doctor's appointments there, and chose that shelter for that reason. It doesn't seem to have been a good choice. Her ex-husband may still drive up to get her and take her back to his home, but he is no longer sure that is the right thing for the boys. difficult child daughter has some (hopefully temporary) issues with inappropriate emotional responses (laughing/crying/outrage/deep pain), some physical issues with balance, flashbacks to the beating, things like that. We will call tomorrow to learn whether there is a social worker involved. It may be that the Shelter, with its counselors and so on is the best place for her, but we are hearing that she has tried to visit the brother of the man who beat her, that she is contacting street people from before.... We think it is time for family to gather her in and take care of her while she heals. It's been a confusing time. For those who find themselves in similar situations, this event has been tough on husband and I individually, and very hard on the marriage. Cedar [/QUOTE]
