I must say I do see real change in Caroline since coming back from the RTC. She is much more mature acting, much more quick to calm down if upset, and just much more pleasant to be around. I am grateful. She is stressing me out far less than my younger two right now, who need major discipline. Can you say basic training?
I am so happy for you. I long for the day we are able to say this...not yet unfortunately.

P.S. I nominated you for the Kreativ Blogger award on my blog. Hope that's OK.
One day hopefully you will be able to say this, though I feel that Caroline will be back to a mess at some point from what I have read of other people's experiences after an RTC stay. It lasts for a while (a year even?) and then their chemistry changes or something happens and they need intervention again.
ReplyDeleteOh, and yes that's fine about the nomination. What other recognition do I ever get?! Gone are the days of pointing to past accomplishments, now I am pretty much just a blogging mom who never gets the laundry done or the house decluttered.
