[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 626200, member: 17269"] Wow, do you know my difficult child? this sounds exactly like him. Standing up the social working, losing the food stamps, losing the SSI opportunity, getting a dog (difficult child's dog is named Justice, hahaha) , refusing to go to shelter because then he can't be with the girl (who we know will have moved on within weeks)...amazing! Sadly mine also has the same list of diagnoses, and a similar age. That is where my fear and guilt start to creep him...but he's ill! I start to whine to myself. He can't take care of himself. He can't be expected to. MWM has shared her story with us, about the accountability of people with different brain chemistry, and their duty to take care of themselves by taking their medications and taking advantage of the resources that they need and are available to them to make them functional. You did the only thing you could do, the only thing a sane person, a reasonable person, a loving parent would do. I love the "you must have had a plan" assertion, that is great parenting for our younger difficult child's. More massages for you!!! and hugs, too, Echo [/QUOTE]
