[QUOTE="Bean, post: 501586, member: 8620"] Thanks all. I didn't ask her if she made it to her appointments yesterday. She called my husband and said she had somewhat of an awakening and wanted to pray with him. She said she was going to a Bible study today. I'm not knocking any of that, or putting it down, I just... my cynical side wonders if she's deflecting because she didn't get to her outpatient yesterday. She does that a lot. When she can't suck it up and do what she's supposed to do, she chooses a different option and focuses on that, telling herself (and others) about whatever great thing she is doing - ignoring the fact that she totally blew off what the plans were. It is a weird thing but she's done this since she was little - always had trouble sticking to the plans, the boundaries. If we had a plan set for the day she'd always find a way to throw a wrench in it or shift it. I don't know how she'll ever hold down a job. Or a life. [/QUOTE]
