[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 519462"] Gosh it is amazing to me how alike all our difficult children are.... and for all those years I thought I was the only one whose child was so extreme and manipulative. It is amazing to me how they think we should trust them after they have done one right thing..... I mean really... however I guess if you have never really experienced being trustworthy maybe you don't know what it really means? Kathy you are doing the right thing in standing your ground about her not coming home. With where she is at it would not be long before it was total chaos at your house with her. I think you did a great job of not enabling her!!! And YES on turning your phone off!!! I have to say my son is more appreciatve than he used to be of the things we do agree to do for him.... but who knows if that is real or he has just learned that thank you can go a long way in getting to my heart and is just another form of manipulation? I do think that spending some time on the street humbled him some and made him less entitled. Course I don't know if any of that will make any real difference in his recovery. Time will tell.... he was discharged today. TL [/QUOTE]
