[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 427640, member: 393"] TM, I'm in total agreement with slsh. The tweedles have been given so much slack in the school system, in therapy & heck in day to day activities. I started out thinking my poor traumatized children need all the supports in the world & in a way I may have crippled them to real life. To be honest, I didn't trust my mom's instincts to push the tweedles harder ~ I let the mental health professionals lead the way. Saying that, their disorders do come into play. I don't know how you can reasonably expect a difficult child who is dissociative to function in the real world until/unless she's able to keep herself connected. wm, on the other hand, is operating on a 7 y/o level emotionally, social skills & life skills wise. Did all the interventions create that ~ I'm not sure. The interventions were sorely needed. I'm pushing kt to reality more & more. Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) staff is pushing her to more adult like & good choices & situations. The same can be said for wm. Aside from the PTSD & Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), the bipolar can & generally is under control with medications. If kt &/or wm decide they will no longer take their medications in my humble opinion all bets are off. All interventions are out the door & personally, I'm done. It's a conundrum. [/QUOTE]
