[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 592683, member: 14356"] Nerf - It sounds like you're riding the difficult child roller coaster. So hard to get off of it too. And when we do get off for a while they seem to have a way of pulling us back on somehow. It is so difficult, especially if we don't know 100% what exactly the diagnosis or medical situation is with our difficult child. That makes it much more difficult to draw a line in the sand. It looks like you do have diagnosis for her but I'm wondering if there is something else there as well. I don't know the whole story though so..... I agree with Hound though. I think I had to get to a point with difficult child where I realized that all the fighting I'd been doing on his behalf was for nothing because he doesn't want any help. He is happy living the way he does. Why? I don't think I'll ever understand. I have to let that go too. So, I have stopped fighting on his behalf for now. You can be sure that if he ever comes to me and seriously indicates that he wants help that I will be there for him to support him and help him along his journey. Your difficult child still lives with you though and so you're in a different position than I am. I sure hope you can get some services for her that include either something residential or at least respite care for you. You must be absolutely exhausted. [/QUOTE]
