[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 606627, member: 1721"] This is going to sound rude. I know we are supposed to be positive and encouraging. But your difficult child just told you Kathy, what her lifeplan is. One way or another, I think she is determined to live at home, with you and husband. Wherever you live, wherever you go, whatever you do. I've been wondering whether that whole "let's make mom and dad responsible, let's get back at them by destroying what we can ~ peace, financial status, reputation, self-concept" thing is a bona fide difficult child pattern, too. I know that sounds unkind. Nonetheless, I think that stuff might turn out to be part of difficult child operations all their lives. For that reason, I think it would be healthier for everyone in your family if you could address and change difficult child's intentions, now. Some recent research indicates that [U]any[/U] drug use in susceptible individuals can mimic, or result in, mental illness. "Spice" use can mean permanent illness in susceptible individuals. What I took from that, and from the fact that so many people who use illicit drugs are being diagnosed with incapacitating mental illnesses, is that if these individuals stop using any mind altering substances, their mental health issues may be manageable with therapy to help them relearn how to think about, and react to, their emotional states. I had posted a TED talk by a woman, a diagnosed schizophrenic, who was able to find her way out of that hellish reality and into sanity through stopping all medication, legal or illicit, and learning to incorporate the voices as repressed aspects of self. I will try to find that piece Kathy, and repost it for you. Barbara [/QUOTE]
