[QUOTE="Bean, post: 354316, member: 8620"] First of all, I'm sorry for your circumstances. I know how your heart must ache. Agreed. Say what you mean, mean what you say and follow through with it. Hard. Hard, hard. I know. And reporting your own kid is hard, but I don't know. It might be necessary. Same duck, different waddle. :) I mean, if she's addicted/abusing rx medications, she's probably having to resort to the same scummy practices of someone who uses illegal drugs. And they can be just as dangerous. This was great. I'm so glad I read this thread. I'm going to send your response, MidwestMom, to my own mother. The points you made were excellent, on point. Outside of mental illness, I think there is a lot of selfishness in being a difficult child (BDDT), and they will take, take, take as long as they are allowed to. Even if they know it is wrong, even if they feel badly about it. If there is a potential to lie/cheat/steal they often will, and always have a good excuse as to why they need to do it. I don't kick my daughter out of my parent's house because I'm fearful of what would happen. Fearful for her. And in my fear, I may just be hindering the one thing that could bring her around. Food for thought. [/QUOTE]
