[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 71819, member: 393"] Triple D, you may be right about the medications; we have been using her PRN medications on a more regular basis. Marg, I know that kt is struggling (wm is as well from a distance) with my being sick. In home therapist is coming twice a week for both of them - I am working to be realistic yet positive about what is going on. kt is aware of the confusion, fear & depression I'm feeling right now. Of late, I've maybe been a little too honest with my emotions with kt. It's hard for a Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) kid with PTSD to see a parent hurt or "weak". It's hard to see a parent start crying for "just because". In the meantime, my little "talk" with kt seemed to have turned her behaviors around for a couple of days. [img]:thumb:[/img] I'm proud of both of my children; they are both trying to the best of their abilities. kt, being here, is under a great deal more pressure. Having said that - mental health CM is setting up a 10 days in a shelter bed (respite situation) for kt to get her a break. She will be going back to Residential Treatment Center (RTC) once a bed opens (not in the treatment area like before). CM, therapist & husband explained to kt, while I was in the hospital, this will be the first time a kid goes to this kind of setting & can honestly say "I'm here because of my mom. This isn't my fault." And it will be true. [img]:smile:[/img] She knows this isn't a punishment & is looking forward to getting away. I appreciate the cyber shoulder, ladies. There are days & then there are others. I expect today to one of those others. [img]:wink:[/img] [/QUOTE]
