[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 340421, member: 3444"] It IS really challenging in the stage you are in with her. No doubt about it. It's hard to be patient, it's hard to have much hope for the future. But please understand that there IS hope, and her future is not as bleak as it feels right now. Finding the right treatment for your difficult child is going to be a journey, and not a quick trip around the corner. It will require a LOT of patience, a LOT of determination and persistence, and a LOT of faith in yourself as a parent. If your current team of mental health professionals aren't at the top of their game or aren't on your side, then take your business elsewhere. Demand answers, and if they can't tell you, keep knocking on doors until you find someone who can. We truly must become Warrior parents to get our difficult child's through to adulthood and beyond, to help them find stability, to help them develop resiliency and the self-esteem they will need to get through the dark times that will inevitably come and go in their lifetime. Along the way, it's important to nurture yourself and take time to regroup, destress, and regain your bearings. Don't worry too much about things in the future that cannot be predicted, let alone controlled. Focus on today and what you can do to help your difficult child get one step closer to the goal. And come here often for support, because that's why we're all here! :) [/QUOTE]
