[QUOTE="Usha, post: 347836, member: 9114"] Motivation and perseverence have been huge problems for my difficult child. She routinely gives up when things get tough. Cant fall and pick herself up. The only way she will move forward is with a fresh start. This usually takes the form of changing schools, changing her courses etc. As a complex PTSD her thresholds for stress tolerance are very low. We've been told that we measure things in baby steps, and work to a different time table. So a lot of our life is about waiting....waiting for her to make connections, waiting for her to take charge. We are completely uncertain whether she will graduate high school but yet keep making plans, fall back plans, worst case scenario plans, financial support plans.... and then watch them all unravel. I have read somewhere 'depression' is the inability to construct a future'. Hopefully by us persevering they'll learn to persevere too...some time. [/QUOTE]
