[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 552193, member: 13558"] [U][I][B]"But my observation was that, during this period, nothing got done in terms of treatment, education, work etc, and so I tend to be skeptical of claims that it's actually in the difficult child's best interests. I think it's more a case of "For my own sanity, I have to do this otherwise you're going to drag me down with you". [/B][/I][/U] You presented our 'warrior parent' thoughts perfectly, thank you!
