[QUOTE="idohope, post: 369672, member: 7722"] Hi and Welcome, We all understand the relief of finding this site and understand that there is no joy in reading other people's struggles but joy in knowing that you are not alone and that there are other people who get it and are dealing with what you are dealing with. I dont have any advice just empathy. My difficult child tells me all the time "You cant make me" and that I do not control her life in anyway just because I am her parent.When it comes to things such as her staying home by herself etc she has looked up state laws to tell me what she can and can not do. It is a common statement that I have seen in posts here with children viewing themselves on equal footing with adults. We have worked with therapists for several years and have had bad luck with bad therapists and with a good therapist moving away. difficult child was generally non-compliant but it has been useful in getting husband and I on the same page and providing support to the siblings. difficult child was/is highly resistant to therapy. We are planning to start difficult child on medication soon. Abilify. I see that is what your difficult child is on. Has it helped? Welcome again and good luck [/QUOTE]
