[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 514319, member: 11001"] VA,And that is how it always goes with our difficult children. entitled, not willing to be accountable until it is forced on them. And even then, the desire doesn't exist. And even when they are in recovery they lack perseverance and drive. They act fragile and wounded.Mine quit her job 2 weeks ago. She said she just didn't like the new location or the people, she was unhappy. Well welcome to the word of low level jobs. I asked her what she learned from the experience and got attacked! She has done 0 to get a new job. She does a little house work and thinks she has saved the whales! I have to begin the process of detatching sooner than she is 18 because she is done with school (GED) and thinks she wants an adult life(her words) and does absolutely nothing to get there. All my involvement, support and $$$ for treatment have meant nothing. I'm doing ok but it hurts. You hang in there. Take it from me-every attempt to be supportive or offer incentive has ended in vicous insults and stubborness. [/QUOTE]
