[QUOTE="AmericanGirl, post: 544743"] Exhausted, I'm so sorry....at least your eyes are open so you will make the best decisions under the circumstances. Living with everything locked up in your own house is a pain. But face it...most difficult children are more creative than we will ever be so things like safes only level the playing field. Do what you need to do. I'll tell you what my Al-anon sponsor told me a little while ago. He has known my difficult child for about 10 years. He said, "If you took a 1/2 inch sheet of stainless stell and beat it over and over with a heavy hammer...eventually you would see a small dimple in the other side. That's what difficult child's head is like. It's going to take a long time and a lot of effort to get through to him." I believe that is typical with our difficult children...she may, unfortunately, have to learn the hard way about her medications. You don't want that for her. You've told her time and time again. But that often means nothing to them. Hugs... [/QUOTE]
