This is so hard...
But mebbe a releif in some weird way, cuz it explains so much?
Its good that your T has experience, but always keep in mind to trust your own instincts too...or at least listen to them. And for me, NOT having my T put stuff in my head was SO important, i kinda mostly found my own way(babble helped!) and so it was easier to accept my 'people' cuz I learned about them piece by piece, and at first the pieces made NO sense, but gradually they came together, and things kept making sense, and so it became very hard to deny, cuz stuff just kept getting proved true, over and over...
You seem very organized and grounded and ready to do what work needs to be done. And its good to hear that T apparently will be available. have you asked about phoning, e-mail, faxes, etc? Its so good to get all these things clear from the start.
I think you can do it. And if ALL of you is half so kind as you come across here on babble, well then you guys should do just fine.
Ya....it may be hard on your family :-(
How old did you say your kids were? You proly should give what appropriate age level info you can, so they know that you know whats going on, and that it may be hard, but it will be OK etc.
I seem to recall there even may be storybooks avail? Not sure.
I think preparing the family will help alot...
Maybe having possible contingencies in place in case of troubles.
Then maybe you can relax more and get to know yourself.
And y'know what, it MAY NOT BE ALL BAD!!! Getting to know those inside is not so bad. And when they can get along better, its SO much better. And some of the young ones, mebbe they can be kinda nasty, but they can be SO funny too! So there are good things too.
Try and remember that.
Take care and keep us posted, and hopefully we can sometimes say the right things, and even if we don't, as Dory once said, at least you know we care.
