[QUOTE="ksm, post: 716598, member: 12511"] Finally got a good nights sleep... Had my coffee... Waiting for the newspaper. Goals for today... Buy a light grey paint for bedroom, white for ceiling and trim. Decide if we want an accent wall...maybe a light Aqua... Make a 6 month dental appointment for her, and a yearly eye exam for next month. Hopefully, we can get a new pair of glasses since we have the SED waiver for Medicaid. Write Difficult Child a letter and mail. I was trying to look for a longer term placement options. Not optimistic that I can find anything affordable for us. The states only other option is to place her in a foster home or group home, probably out of our community. I have decided that I can handle that. One perk...our state has a free college tuition program for kids who age out of foster care. I don't know if they have to be in foster care for more than a year or not... Odd that I am trying to find the perks... I have pretty much decided that this is just the next step in a series of steps in her life. It's one of the last active steps that I will be involved in. I have been more vested in her recovery than she is. I think her history and childhood trauma have brought us to this point. I don't believe she has a healthy attachment to us, and will not change her behavior for us. She has become a manipulator of our feelings, emotions and finances. The money we had saved to help her pay for some of her educational expenses may never go for that. It will always be in our control. It will be used for home repairs, insurance copays and mileage for appointments out of our community. No more clothes, shoes, make up, etc. when she had a job, none of her money went for those things. So why should ours? I have organized her clothing as we are redoing her room. She has enough clothes to last until she is an adult. The proverbial Sh!+ has hit the fan. I am more upset, disappointed and disgusted than caring and concerned. Ksm [/QUOTE]
