Another outburst

The phone rings at 9:30, and it is my daughter's residential treatment home calling to tell me that she is at the support center and will be there all night. She escalated to out of control behavior with a staff because she was asked to hurry up to make her bed time. She started mouthing off, swearing, went to her room, slammed the door, threw things i her room, threated a staff that she was going to hurt her. All too familiar of behavior and concerning because I want her to get better and be able to come home. So I was able to get to sleep, but then woke up around 1:00 and layed there thinking for a few hours. You just never know when she will go off and when she does it seems to be getting worse. I feel bad for the staff that has to deal with her and be treated that way, they are all very nice. It just makes me sad, but I am learning that I can not take responsibility for her actions. But I also can't do anything to make a difference for her either. I know she is safe a protected where she is.
