[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 252518"] Thank you Terry. I do think sometimes the mentally ill end up as victims. People see or sense that they are not able to think something through and well...they lose in the end. It can get a little complicated, because like everyone, even those with mental illness need do the best that the can do with what they are given. Good choices encouraged. Sometimes we have to just plain insist .... drive home a point by letting them feel the consequences to bad choices. We are doing this more and more with- difficult child and slowly she is getting the picture. We are picking up the pace. Whether she "gets it" relatively soon, much later or even never gets it...it'll be okay. My choice as been made...I continue to move forward...
