[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 279682, member: 1233"] WOW!! I am proud of husband!! It really is terribly difficult to deal with all of this. I think you are doing the best you can to help your daughters. And that is great. It relieves me to hear that 5yo is in your room at night. I think we spent a good 6 months with Jessie in our BED. Part of this was actually while Wiz was in the psychiatric hospital. she had panic attacks and it was so hard to watch. If Jessie didn't feel at least me pressed up against her she woke in a cold sweat. We also couldn't get Wiz into the psychiatric hospital overnight. I think it took a week or so, with all the approvals, finding a longer term bed (I say psychiatric hospital, because techinically that is what it was, but kids were there far longer than the 3-5 day stay that seems more typical. One of the boys in the psychiatric hospital was going on over 2 YEARS in that facility!) As for your 10yo - awesome spirit!! Too cool!! Just be sure to give an approval to the counsellor at school to see her for help, or get her into a therapist. It probably would be a good idea to see if the therapist that difficult child sees has a colleague that could treat the girls. anytime there is this kind of trauma in a family it is a good idea to at least let the girls know that counselling is there for them too. I really MEANT what I said. I support you 110%. It is so very clear that you love your daus and your husband. And that you even care for difficult child in spite of his scary actions. I am relieved to see you put safety measures into place. You can even put an alarm on a door very easily and inexpensively. I had some put up to keep wiz out of the room the other 2 shared. I don't think the alarms I put up were even $10 total. I hope the counselling went very well today. I also hope that you and husband can see a therapist to work through all the feelings that you are EACH going through. I am so very sorry you had a bad experience at the DV place you sought help at. That is heartbreaking. I do understand why you don't want to expose your kids after what seems to be a horrible experience. Sending a basket of my most gentle hugs! You just reach in and pull one out - then you are wrapped in a feeling of warmth, comfort, and support. And your hugs are extra special - each one comes with 15 minutes of peace and quiet to enjoy a cup of coffee, tea or whatever you like to drink. And the lavendar hugs are special - they let you get a good night's sleep and let EVERYONE in the house sleep peacefully! [/QUOTE]
