[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 417429, member: 3419"] So, I got some advice from a therapist several wks ago in reg. to my cousin. I{m supposed to gloss over talking about her apartment, change the subject, etc. There is no use reasoning with someone who is only using emotion. Period. Today I visited her. She of course brought up the subject of not wanting to lose her apt in NY because she would have no place to go to live. We ve been through this so many times during therapy I cannot even begin to tell you ... She can NOT live there, not alone, not with an entire crew of hospital personnel. This time, I just nodded and put a concerned look on my face. P. didn{t fall for it. She said You are nodding in agreement but I can see that you don{t really understand. I will have NO PLACE TO LIVE WHEN I GO HOME. What will I DO_ So much for that approach ... [/QUOTE]
