[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 526467, member: 59"] She was coming down off the drugs and she was aggitated. My dad is an alcoholic. He is now 92 years old so his active drinking days are over, but he would often go in and out of the hospital for various reasons. He would start out being very plesant to everyone and the nurses loved him and joked around with him. After a couple days he started getting nervous and cranky and then he got downright nasty. The nurses no longer joked around with him and he started making demands and complaining. Soon after they would release him and I always knew it was because they wanted to get rid of him. I watched this over and over again and when I got old enough to understand I realized it was because he was drying out and needed alcohol. I couldn't understand why he was so nice to the nurses in the beginning and then he got beligerent. I never understood what they did to him to make him so mad. And then I realized it wasn't them it was him. You are not seeing your difficult child, you are seeing the drugs. Oh and I'm not that numb. I woke up three times last night worrying about her. I haven't slept through the night since I found out she got fired. I want to sleep through the night again. I want to stop worrying about what she is going to do and what is going to happen. I want to be able to think about ANYTHING but her for a whole day. Nancy [/QUOTE]
