[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 588600, member: 1967"] AG, I understand. However, even when they are far away it is still hard to stick to boundaries. My difficult child completed residential successfully but now that she is out she is back to her old manipulative behaviors. So far, we are holding the line thanks to our family therapist and my personal therapist. It is so hard, though, when she throws things at us like saying she will stop going to IOP or taking her medications if we don't pay for the things that she wants us to pay for. She has a part-time job and we had an agreement when she left residential that we would pay for the rent at the half-way house and her health insurance premium and she would take care of everything else. She wasn't out of residential for even one hour when she was texting me saying she needed money. Our family therapist even said that the therapy team had been discussing how good my difficult child was at manipulation. Isn't that just great? Makes a mother proud . . . ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
