[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 407880, member: 6546"] Patricia-- Well, not quite the same thing - but we shouldn't have to ask our 15 nearly 16 year old whether she is wearing clean underpants either - and yet, here we are! I do sometimes think we get into unhealthy patterns, (all of us...not just difficult children) but it definitely hinders the progress difficult children [I]could[/I] be making if they weren't so enmeshed in old routines. At the very least, a residential placement would take the family dynamic out of the equation. Then it would no longer be a power struggle... And then - what? Just difficult child's issues...whatever they may be - or not. [/QUOTE]
