[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 406552, member: 805"] Sharon, first of all, hugs. You know, at any given time all of our children can vacillate between being gfgish and pcish. Your daughter is experiencing a myriad of hormonal issue, she's in a "special school", she's feeling isolated socially, she's been subject to years of her younger brother's antics, she's at the age where she wants to be independent, and she's depressed. She is a difficult child right now. But it doesn't matter what label she's given. What is important is that you and husband continue to do what you are doing and also manager, somehow, to get those medications in her YOURSELF. Take the remeron to the kitchen and have her come to you (or husband) for dispense before bedtime. If you or husband have to go in her room in the morning before you leave, sit on the side of her bed with a glass of water, gently wake her enough that she can swallow her medications, and then leave (keep talking at a minimum). The fact that she is responsible for herself in the morning, and I know you guys have no other choice, has proven a little "iffy" with her history of arriving to school late, and now potentially not taking the medications. I think you need to take control of the medications. Surely she is old enough for you to begin to have her be an active partner in her health. But Sharon, she is a difficult child right now in need of some extras. I think one of those extras needs to be assuring those medications get in there. Deep breath, it's Friday - the weekend always makes you happy! Sharon [/QUOTE]
