[QUOTE="ML, post: 254344"] Ah Jena my friend you are in way over your head. If you must stay at this job right now than I suggest a ODAAT approach and to the extent possible, find humor. I'm not trying to diminish anyone's pain or the seriousness of anyone's situation. But think the series (if you're old enough) MASH. My husband worked in social services 20 years and he said the thing that helped relieve stress was the cameradeire among colleagues. They had a saying in their office "we work so you don't have to". You have got to laugh! husband said you can't care more about the clients than they care about themselves. Please, please don't take this the wrong way. I know these people deserve dignity and compassion, truly. I'm simply trying to help JENA figure out a way to survive without getting pulled down into the dark pit of despair. Your difficult child is so much like mine. It is exhausting. I'd even try to inject humor with her. Though I will tell you manster gets ANGRY when I make him laugh when he wants to be mad lol. Don't know what else to say except do something nice for Jena this weekend. Love, ML [/QUOTE]
