[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 600070, member: 1514"] Kathy, I'm so sorry. I simply dont know what to say because I had so hoped that she had matured this time enough to actually learn. Please dont take this as any reflection on you at all. Its all on her. She has to make the decisions and only she can do it. When she decides she is sick enough of her life she will do it. Someone once said no one will ever change until the pain of staying the same is greater than greater than the pain of changing. Its very true. Let me tell you it would be far easier for me to just say screw it all and not ever work on staying well (emotionally) but I know that real pain lies in that decision. Not just to me but to people I really love including you guys. It is very hard sometimes for me to deal with all the doctor appts and medication adjustments but I do it because I want to stay as well as I can be. Im not fixed or cured by any means but I do my level best every month to keep trucking on and one day if your daughter is smart and figures out that she wants a somewhat even life, she will do what I have done. It took me a long time to get here though. Honestly though I think it would have taken me far less time if I had known what was wrong. [/QUOTE]
