[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 330071, member: 2459"] Does my kid charm and/or snow people???? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: OMG YES!!!!! I've fired counselors before because they thought he was doing great since he was parroting what they wanted to hear in his appointments and then would do what HE wanted at home. The guy had no clue. Teachers, family, friends....all of them have been snowed at some point and some are, to a point, still snowed to this day. As for your situation, I would consider putting together a file (either hardcopy or on your computer) of an outline of your background with difficult child, diagnosis's, professionals seen, results, medications, etc. Nothing really in depth but enough that someone should get a good idea from reading it. Keep it as factual and objective as possible and keep it on hand. The next time difficult child is somewhere, you can offer it up. As a legal adult, they may not accept it but they may. If nothing else, it can show that believable or not, you do have a different version of the story. At the same time though, these people are right. She IS 18 and as such, a legal adult. They won't and can't talk to you without her permission. If she has people snowed and as a result, isn't getting the correct help she needs.....hard as it is to watch as a parent, that's HER problem and not yours. SHE is the one who will have to deal with the aftermath and/or consequences of not getting correct treatment. SHE is the one who will go without needed medications or take the wrong ones. SHE is the one who will have to deal with the legal fallout of her behaviors. You can love her and be there for her while still maintaining a distance. She's an adult now and needs to learn to act like one. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
