We had a death in the family so this was not a normal week and was highly stressful for everyone. By yesterday Jade had about had it. And I forgot to give her her meds Thurs so that didn't help.We are certainly coming to realize how much her having structure is helping her. After a week of no structure and lots of stress she was at her wit's end by last night. She wasn't terrible just could tell she was at her wit's end.
When she is like that she takes it out on Grandpa...grrrrrrrrr. He kids with her like he always does the little kids and her being a tween doesn't care for it in the first place and takes out her snippyness on him when he tries to kid with her and then when he just tries to talk to her etc. Since he just lost his daughter this week he certainly doesn't need a 10 year old taking out her frustrations on him.
I pray that next week getting back on schedule and remembering to take meds everyday will prove to be a better week all around.

It's horrible when they get like that, isn't it? You want to tell her off for treating him like that, and advise him not to tease her like a little one because that's not the way to approach her...and it's all so difficult. I am so sorry for his loss; please pass on our condolences and prayer for his and your comfort and peace. Please God things will return to some kind of normality and you will make more progress. It's often two steps forward and one step back. You have to try and see the bigger picture, don't you?
