same type stuff has happened to me many times. The kid or family drives you nuts but you push through anyway,then out of the blue WAM! like a ton of bricks, a fast one is played on you and you feel like the fool!!!! I always end up realizing... Everything happens for a reason. And this too, is a blessing in disguise. You just don't see it just yet because you are a little hurt by the fact that you gave these "spoiling" parents and this "spoiled" kid your time and energy and feel like this is their "thanks". doesn't feel very good, I know. but soon they and she will be on to another place and they will learn, no one is better than the other and "they" are the real problem, not the provider. Just let them go and pray for a "good fit" for your private home care. se la vi! adios
