[QUOTE="Steely, post: 186965, member: 3301"] Yea, I agree with all of you in, in so many ways, and on so many different levels. It is all hard. I guess I am grieving the loss of part of a child I knew. There seems to be so much loss in having children like these. Their loss of innocence, their loss of themselves, their loss of a normal life. It just get to me sometimes. It does not seem fair that part of their positive traits get lost in all of this, in addition to having to deal with all of their daily mental cr@p. I really do think I might start slowly titrating down on his medications. Slowly half a mg at a time, and just see what happens. We are in a place where if he gets out of control, he will readily take his medications again. He no longer poo-poos them, but sees them as an aide. When I talked to him about what he wanted to do, he told me it was up to me, I was in charge of that. Which, I think means he trusts me implicitly, and does not want to to take responsibility for making such a big decision. Ugh. [/QUOTE]
