[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 234677, member: 1631"] Thanks everyone! Some of it probably is manipulation, maybe even a lot of it. Some of it I'm not so sure (he doesn't cry easily-and his tears just quietly roll down his face). Either way you are all right-we need this. In fact last Sunday husband said let's remember how difficult child was today when we are dropping him off at respite, it will remind us we are doing the right thing. We don't give him any choice in the matter because we know we need it. We do try to make the transition easier by letting him bring his favorite blanket and his music. I just wish he wasn't as sad about it at first. We did call last night but difficult child was already asleep (7:15). The respite provider said he cried only a few minutes and was then playing and laughing so that was good to hear. We enjoyed a nice evening watching a movie and some friends may be coming over later today for a game night. It will be nice not to have difficult child constantly interrupting and to be able to truly enjoy time with our friends. You are all the best-I truly needed to hear what all of you had to say-thank you! [/QUOTE]
