[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 296225, member: 7083"] Thank you for the support and ideas, ladies. I have been, for the most part, just carrying on with my life. Although, I do tend to walk on eggshells around her. I have forced the medication issue before. It was horrible. And I've been tossing around the idea of it again. The thing is, there's really not much that would be a carrot for her. The only thing I can think of that she *really* wants is a tongue piercing, but I don't like the idea of making that a reward. Especially because when it swells and hurts, I'm going to live and breathe it...no matter how much she insists that I won't. And knowing difficult child, once she gets what she wants, she'll stop the medications. Unless/until she buys into it herself, she will not admit to any improvement. She won't remember anything good. I found a book on Amazon about Borderline (BPD) teens that I need to get. I'm just having a hard time knowing what to do, what line to walk, what things to push.... [/QUOTE]
