[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 485715, member: 84"] Personally, although it may be a royal PITA, I wouldn't hand her cash for [B]any[/B] reason. If you're footing the doctor bills, I'd paid them personally, as in she wouldn't even see it. If your paying for scripts, I'd pay the pharmacy directly, then hand it to her. Same for any supplies your buying. No cash for any reason period. Now I'm going to come off cold but thanks to bff and her group of addict friends.........there are a [B]lot[/B] of mental health medications addicts use to get high on. And they must get the list of characteristics ect straight off line because psychiatrists seem to fall for it unless you get one wise enough to think twice or four times over scripting an addict with anything they could even remotely use or trade to get high on. This is where addicts with mental health issues shoot themselves in the foot. If she starts saying things like......oh I had so much anxiety I just ran out early........or other sort of lame or questionable excuses as to why her medications can't last her until the next doctor visit, it's time to stop paying for either the psychiatrist or the medications. She's selling them or using them as an addict would, not as treatment. (but you probably already know that) As far as I'm concerned difficult child better be thanking her lucky stars she has such an awesome Mom that will do these things for her. I'd have told her it was her problem and used the serenity prayer. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
