[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 682815, member: 16024"] Hi Cali, I was going to say, when I read the first post, that maybe your daughter needs to go to bed earlier in order to get 12 hours of sleep. Then I read your last post, saying that your mom tried to get her out of bed and she refused. Does this mean that she is perfectly capable of waking and functioning but refused to do so? I was originally under the impression that she was so groggy from her medications that it is impossible for her to be physically awake in the morning, but I am thinking that is not the case. Have you had a talk with her about how you cannot support her for the rest of her life so that she doesn't have to do anything? Maybe she sees your friend living this way and thinks she can do the same? Maybe you should start looking into some type of group homes/ low income housing/or other social services she might qualify for. It would be great if she would take advantage of the wonderful opportunities available to her to move forward in her life, but if she won't, maybe she needs to start looking into how she will survive outside of your home. I might give her a deadline to come up with a plan together that you can both live with. Sorry that you have to deal with this. Apple [/QUOTE]
