[QUOTE="slsh, post: 249965, member: 8"] Ditto Smallword. As far as realizing the effect his choices have had on you (his family) and being appreciative? Nope - don't expect that now, if ever. When we had the "you're turning 18, the bills are your's now" talk and then defined what my difficult child can expect per hospitalization, per dr. visit, or even monthly for medications, he was stunned the *he* would be expected to pay those amounts (and we're just talking copay because we're keeping him on ins. as long as possible). And it's not just the financial aspects - I don't know if they can ever appreciate the trauma and stress and ... well you know, the whole kit and caboodle they put on their families. It sure would be nice but... not holding my breath here. One day at a time, hon. by the way - are you taking care of *you* right now? What did you do for yourself this weekend? [/QUOTE]
