[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 116263, member: 1967"] Yes, I made it very clear that she could have gone to jail for what she did. She says that it was a one time thing but of course I realize that she knows the right thing to say. As far as cutting off copays for medical treatment, I'm not sure what that would be supposed to accomplish. Yes, she made a mistake, a big mistake, but I don't see how cutting off her access to mental health care in retaliation is the right thing to do. My husband and I have held our difficult child accountable for her actions. We made her leave our home when she broke our rules, make her stand on her own two feet financially (for the most part), and have made it very clear that we will not bail her out if she gets in legal trouble due to her actions. What I am trying to figure out here is if I should be concerned and if there is any proactive action I could or should take. husband just mentioned that we could simply tell her that we feel it would be best if she stays with her current psychiatrist and that is the only way that we will pay the copays. Then she couldn't double up on the medications if that was her plan. MWM ~ I realize that Xanax can be abused which is why I asked if her psychiatrist knew about her substance abuse issues. She said that she mentioned my concerns about it's addictive nature and he switched her to Lorezepam. When I looked that up it didn't look any better. However, I have learned and come to accept that since difficult child is an adult that there is nothing husband and I can do except let her learn things the hard way. I guess I just answered my own question. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
