[QUOTE="idohope, post: 362233, member: 7722"] Welcome. I dont have advice but I do have understanding and empathy. We have had people tell us that they wish their child were more like our difficult child. I smile and say thank you and I my head I am thinking " Be careful what you wish for". She can be so amazing in some situations and then raging and hitting me at home. Medication has been recommended for our difficult child and we are facing the same issue. She will refuse to take it. We have gotten varied advice. Some professionals have condoned sneaking it to her. The say that should be done on a short term basis and that if we go that route our priority needs to be discussing medication with her and getting her to accept it willingly. It is a catch-22 as they say the medication could make her more receptive to taking medication...Other advice has been "stop the world". If we go that route I will have the number for crisis intervention ready as she will get violent. However the possibility of going to a hospital might be enough for her to take the medications. It would be ideal if we could work with her but our difficult child has been resistant to therapy for years and maintains that she does not have problem so why would she need medication. I wish you luck. How were you able to get to her go to the evaluations? [/QUOTE]
