[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 437877, member: 1991"] That's very true, Janet. What needs to be done here, is to help Ms Ally over the hoops she has to jump trough, to get to the realisation that this particular case is not one of parental neglect, or abuse (parental or otherwise) but primarily mental illness in the child. And tat the family are calling for help because they've already tried everything. The cancer analogy is a good one. Let's take it a little further. You can't cure cancer with a hug, but a hug can make it easier to deal with. However, you have to also be willing to be hugged; it is not right to force a hug on someone who doesn't want one. It is also not right to hug someone when you are angry with them because the muscle tension in your body WILL tell on you, and such a hug is actually counter-productive. Marg [/QUOTE]
