[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 474352, member: 97"] you say she is a devoted animal lover. perhaps you can use that to hang on to her. Can you get her a horse, or if you do not live where you can do that, can you get her a job working with animals, or send her to vet tech school, or be an assistant at a veterinary office?? putting my son in three different school districts never helped him. He also saw 3 or 4 diff psychiatric groups but was always dismissed for non-compliance. As for medications, I wonder if you can get her to take Omega 3 pills as a dietary supplement-may help her moods. Tell her that all the adults in the family are gonna take it and then do so. You do not want to lose your family, including her. I do not think she will comply with treatment unless there is a carrot in there to make her want to do so. For my son, who is now 28, the carrot was his love for his own son. My son went thru a long path to get where he is today and no amount of pushing on my part helped. He got better when I set firm boundaries of what I would and would not put up with from him. Since this last try of yours has failed, I would sit her down and tell her that you love her, and want her in the family but she has to act like family too. See if you can use the animal element. She can even get a job walking dogs, or in an animal shelter. I do not think you can force her into treatment. [/QUOTE]
