[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 113162, member: 3907"] This is a great post. I had to think very carefully about this. difficult child and I have been struggling a lot over the last several months, and his departure for the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) brought with it a huge sense of relief. Having him home from Residential Treatment Center (RTC) over Christmas was incredibly hard, and brought a lot of the negative feelings back to the surface, so this thread has been a wonderful opportunity to put the negatives aside and reflect on why I love difficult child. He's incredibly charming He's a very compassionate young man He keeps a cool head in a crisis, and often comes up with a logical and helpful solution He cares passionately about things He still believes in Santa Claus, even though he's 18 (even wrote him a letter this year, asking for help with his struggles...melted my heart) HE finds great pleasure in small things. When he opened his Christmas gifts this year, he said "Cool! I got so many books I'm gonna be reading for months!" Thanks for reminding me that underneath all of the difficult behaviour and other issues, there is a delightful lovely boy. Trinity [/QUOTE]
