[QUOTE="slsh, post: 266546, member: 8"] Mustang - I'm just so sorry to hear this. Really and truly. I wish I knew the answer, how to get our kids invested in their own lives, but I just don't have a clue. And I'm just as aggravated as you are, with- my own kid - why, when they "have it under control" and "know what they're doing", why oh why oh why do they turn around and come to us when they've made another bad choice (usually one my kid has already made umpteen times already) and expect us to clean it up? Schlep up to the hospital, sit for hours upon hours when if he'd done what he was supposed to be doing in the first place, it'd be completely unnecessary. It's enough to make you nuts. I totally get the MI part - I understand it severely impacts his ability to think clearly. But when a kid can sit there and tell you exactly what he's supposed to do but keeps on not doing it.... what do you do with that?? And when they adamantly refuse supports that are sitting right in front of them? Sigh... I don't know, but I sure hope somebody figures it out soon because this merry-go-round is getting real old. A very gentle hug to you, hon. [/QUOTE]
