[QUOTE="aninom, post: 322164, member: 8513"] I think that's a great idea. If her refusing to take the medications is connected to them making her uncomfortable, EVEN IF this actually isn't the case, maybe working with her on figuring that discomfort out will make the point that the medications aren't some sort of arbitrary punishment or instrument of control you are wielding over her, that it's in fact your mutual concern, that you care for how the medications will pan out. Getting her to actually fill that chart in, I imagine is another story - but at least you will have made your this-is-our-mutual-concern position clear by suggesting it. Remember that this is about HER, not you, that whatever she does and whatever name she calls you, she probably doesn't understand the full impact of her actions upon you. She only feels this kind of liberty in acting out because at some level, she still knows you do love her, and she trusts you to see the entirety of her bad side. All my best, best wishes go out to you. Hopefully it won't be like this forever. [/QUOTE]
