[QUOTE="compassion, post: 225611, member: 6393"] JLady, I have experieced wantring the type of support I find here from therapist and I have to accept it is not exactly that way. Today,she worked with her on social skills, intrdoucing herself . Well, my agenda is more along the lines of keeping her from running away and using. AA has worked plus I iniated signed contracts and that has worked. I am still processing how helpful it is to have husband and I go in there. We are very involved in 12 step groups and I feel I get a lot more support from there and this forum. What is helpful though is to have a listener. I also get the impressionthat her son, now 25 is difficult child who dropped out of school and uses substances. I really do not think she understands or can support the path I have chosen in the way I often wqnt her to. She has a lot of experience with bipolar and extreme behaviors . Both my parents were social workers and that tends to muddy the waters for me. I was definely not in favor of therapy/medications until the behavoir got so extreme. I have found thoughthat the biggest help is from 12th step groups and this forum. I am comitted to having her do weekly therapy as it isa stipulation to have charges dropped. medications do help. I am lowering my expectations of thaerapy. Compassion [/QUOTE]
