How to say goodbye

[mickyc]

That sounds horrible. It is unfortunate that is happening. Don't feel bad about it. How long have you had this child? I am surprised he isn't spending his whole day in time-out LOL. Just think of how relieved you will be when he is gone and you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

He has been with me 2 years but the behaviors are getting worse every passing month. He IS always in time out so I have to assume he doesn't like it here anymore. It will be a relief for sure. But I know life will be hell once I give notice so I am dreading it

Wow!! I'm dealing with something similar at the moment too. I dread the child being dropped off! My heart starts racing, I can feel all my muscles tens up, I start shaking, its just terrible!!! I don't look forward to the whole "gotta let you go" speech, but I know I will start liking my job again once I do. Plus I know there is a better family waiting for a great day home to come to. I'm sure this will be the same for you too. Good luck with it all!!!!

I had a dcb that sounds very similar. He was here for almost 2 years, thinking that his behavior would get better but it got progressively worse. I don't blame the parents though, they were working with me on his behavior at every turn. They were actually very strict and went above what I would have done as a parent. Sometimes there are other circumstances that we may not be aware of. But as a doc provider we have the option to terminate and that's what I did. You will feel so relieved when you do if you are at the end of your rope.
