[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 748500, member: 4152"] We have done a modified version of this. Our daughter has improved in teeny tiny increments. But, I think it's mostly because of time itself and having a steady decent place to live has given her a little stability. It's hard to be stable mentally when you are constantly moving and when I use the word "constantly," that I mean literally ....ALL THE TIME and often in scary, unsafe places. She has faced some hardships of her own doing and that has taught her some lessons. Mind you, NOT as much or as quick as one would expect...but I think she has some knowledge that she doesn't want to repeat certain things. Everything with her is slow going. I would never have had the stamina and patience to do what this woman has done. I'm amazed she hung in there. I think at times it became an unhealthy obsession for her...but then again, I think she learned to pull back when she picked up on this. Also, no doubt, some of our adult children are less healthy than others, more addicted than others....it various a lot. I do find what she did very interesting on many levels and I'm happy her son has progressed. I suppose there is a little part of me that wonders if some day it will all blow up. That is the cynical part of me that sometimes comes when you have a child like this...the relentless weird crxp...it just seems never ending. Ugh. I hope it continues in the right direction for her and her son. Fingers crossed. [/QUOTE]
