[QUOTE="greenrene, post: 575008, member: 9177"] sister in law decided to take her in because she loves difficult child and us, and she wanted to try to help before it got to the point that we had to send difficult child off to boarding school. She said that she has to at least try, because she knows what the ramifications would be if we did have to send her to boarding school. My inlaws would pay for it, but there would definitely be some unpleasant strings attached. husband is not doing well. He is very much not wanting to face this reality, but I think it is much needed because he just tries to pretend everything is ok, and has for years. I mean, he knows that things are hard with difficult child, but I don't think he's really realizing or acknowledging how much all of us have been suffering. This morning he told me that he doesn't agree with any of this at all, but that he's basically being forced into it by his family. I (gently) reminded him that things have gotten so bad with difficult child that she's at the point of being sent off, which of course he knows, but... I think he was hoping that the new therapist would be able to turn things around, but she's only been seeing difficult child for a few sessions. difficult child is apparently having a hard time. I still say good riddance - maybe she'll come to understand that our home isn't as horrible as she thought it was. I'm still reeling from the raging yesterday, her screaming at me that she doesn't have to listen to me, that I have no authority over her, that I'm not her mom, that she can't wait to get out of this house, etc. Apparently she's having trouble at sister in law's.
