I have an OCD clinic appointment with my daughter.
Going to the company's Xmas party.
Last week, we did our FINAL (contracted to) family appointment with our eight year long psychological study of our family.
I understand that within two months we will have one more culmination meeting to discuss all our problems and offer options for continuing in the study.
(Remember, when I first joined here, I mentioned that my family was a part of an eight year long study of multiple cases of autism in one family? It is finally coming to a close. Doubt that we helped much, but we got some really good therapy for the kids at times.)
We will have no Christmas party at BBy. I do not miss them.
OT: tomorrow, I will work my ass off and return home overstimmed to FUCK after dealing with so many people for SO DAMN long.
I remember. I think.
Damn, it's been a while.
Yeah, a while! If you peal back the years, I talked about this quite a bit when we were about a year or so in to the study. I had a very positive attitude that we were getting help for our kids.
We have had to attend many "sessions" as a family and some individual with multiple doctors, submit to nearly one hundred home visits, some included multiple visitors (EVERY SINGLE ONE OF WHICH UPSET THE KIDS OR ME, btw), keep logs and records of behaviors, changes in behavior, document eating habits, hygiene habits, school habits, social influences, then submit to timely questions about progress, future, lifestyle, conflicts, successes etc, etc.
I think I am about done.
