[QUOTE="tryagain, post: 627044, member: 14865"] Momjane, it's a process. And it can change at any time. I've detached and reattached; as I've said here, sometimes I feel like a piece of human Velcro. I had to detach when things were at their worst and she was totally disrespecting me and even harming me and our house. Those were the times I would park down the street and fear to go to in my own house, much like you described. After a year and a half of separation by several hours, she saw that hers was not the life she wanted and that she would have to take her medication to be a happy person. It took two suicide attempts, two stints in a psychiatric hospital, but today she has moved back to our town and is stable. Although she should never live with us again (in order to preserve our relationship), she did stay here for several weeks while she was getting herself together. I believe any difficult child can improve their life. But it has to come from them--we can offer all the wonderful support in the world, but if they do not wish to take advantage of that support and help themselves, we cannot control what they do. I take it one day at a time, praying she will take her medications today and live the life she is capable of. I will live in the moment. It is really all any of us have. Hugs to you this day.
