[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 332090, member: 2459"] Wow....I think I've said this before. I get fed up enough RAISING a difficult child and can't imagine living with an adult difficult child. You've got your hands full. One thing though....you keep your money in your wallet...I wouldn't do that....it's way too risky. You should be able to open a seperate bank account in your name only that wife won't have access to. Even if it's only a savings account, you could still get an ATM/Debit card for it so you're not carrying around hundreds of dollars at a time. And if nothing else, I would suggest a good lock box either very well hidden in your home or in the home of someone you trust explicitely. I would say put it in your car but cars can get stolen or wrecked. If you were to have a wreck and something happened to you....who would know to look for your paycheck in the car? As for her appointments....has she ever signed anything giving you the ability to ask about appointments or make them? You may want to look into that if at all possible. Otherwise, all that comes to mind to me is to sit her down and tell her enough is enough. Either she do this and comply or other arrangments for the family will be made. It's not fair to any of you (her included) to live like this when all she has to do is take her medications. I know there is the "I don't NEED this medicine" thing...I hear it from my son and also she is an adult and can choose to not take them. But....you have to decide at what point do you draw the line, Know what I mean?? And I don't want to sound like if she takes her medications, all is well either or that I'm patronizing her and saying "be a good girl and take your pills". I realize it's more involved than that....I'm just not completely awake I think. I just think that knowing how she is and how life is in your house when she goes off her medications.....you need to decide how much you are willing to do or put up with and act accordingly. Know what I mean?? [/QUOTE]
