[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 347407, member: 7083"] JJJ, I looked into the DSM-V personality disorder diagnosis, and I find it rather broad and confusing. I'm also very tired and emotionally drained. And maybe I'm just too schooled on the DSM-IV criteria that it would be a hard adjustment for me. My mom is totally freaking out about the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) possibility. She asked if they are going to drug her into a zombie. I told her it's nothing like the old 'mental institutions'. She then asked if I could live with difficult child hating me and visiting difficult child and having difficult child tell me she hates me and how could I do this to her. I told her I live with that everyday, and it's not my job to be a popular parent; it's my job to do what is best for - to give her the best chance at happiness and success at life that I can. She is going to go with me to talk to therapist and said she's going to write down a list of questions between now and then. easy child and DF are also going to go to therapist with me - on a different day - because they live here and there is a lot of resentment, especially with DF, and mental illness effects everyone in the family. I need them to understand what it's like to be difficult child. [/QUOTE]
