[QUOTE="branbran, post: 82363, member: 3762"] You poor thing. I so know what you are going through, my difficult child has refused to take her medications on and off for the past 5 years. I just think they want to be normal and taking medications isn't "normal". My daughter is 16 and has been on medications since she was 7 and she is still in denial. In her mind we are all doing this to her, there is nothing wrong with her other than the fact that I as well as anyone else in her life who has tried to help her, has ruined her life. I am still waiting for the day she comes to grips with the fact that she is mentally ill. She is in her third Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and she just thinks it's a punishment of some sort. I have tried every way possible to explain to her that this is to help her, but she doesn't think she needs help. I too feel frustrated all of the time, angry, resentment, and every other negative feeling there is. I just think it comes with the territory. So don't get down on yourself, what you are dealing with is extraordinary, and unfortunately these children do not come with a handbook!! So keep fighting the good fight. Hang in there. I hope tomorrow will be a bit more sunny for you. God bless. [/QUOTE]
