[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 82548, member: 1514"] Heather, While I do think medications should be non-negotiable in certain instances...that is up to the parent to decide. I went that way in my house but I have no idea if it was the right choice now. Maybe not in hindsight. Bigger switches might have worked better...lol. I can absolutely agree that not allowing her to wallow in her own misery is the right way to approach this. She has the tools at her disposal to help her make a difference in her life but she chooses not to use them. It is like a drowning man screaming for someone to save him but when you toss him a life preserver he throws it back and wants something else! Hello?!? I think in your case I would offer a few suggestions, some sympathy, and then just tell her she is old enough to figure out how to fix her problems on her own now. Maybe tell her that you are sure she will be able to come up with a solution to her problem now that she is older. Lay it in her lap. This cant be easy. [/QUOTE]
