[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 309079, member: 1233"] Maybe today was the RIGHT day to run out of medications and start your period. Maybe this will be the time it gets through to him. It would send me through the roof, esp if it has happened before. Other than the loss of his electronics, what will his consequences be? The best therapist we ever had said to tie the problems to hard physical labor. Stuff they do not want to do. Work with him or sit and supervise from a lounge chair with a book and a glass of tea. Whatever works for you. It is the hard labor that will be the deterrent AND will be what is remembered. NOT losing the electronics, though that needed to be taken away anyway. Maybe take him to do yard work for Children and Family Services, or something else. Even just having him dig a hole in the back yard and then fill it in and dig another one. Without the hard physical labor there is little that will ever penetrate his brain except for the hangdog "I know I messed up but I just need help" cruddola routine. You could also have him be your "personal slave" and do your every whim for a few days. This kind of thing is so difficult. I am sorry. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
