[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 567609, member: 15473"] OK so in planning for our therapy appointment on the 18th I want to put together something like a presentation. I'm not sure if it is appropriate considering this will be our 1st family appointment but I feel like it is the only safe place to present it. I wont be putting together a slide show or anything just a little document that states the following: Her costs upon graduation from high school to include: cell phone, housing, college, car, car insurance, food, gas, and etc. I think I can put it together in a way that shows what her life will look like with support and what it will look like without. I am sure she will see it as a "you are planning to cut me off" way, so I am hoping by being with the therapist he will be able to keep her reasonable. I want her to see in black and white how much of a difference there will be in her life. No emotions just simple facts. Facts that can go one way or the other depending on how she continues to treat family. At this point she doesn't have the ability to work a full time job due to school obligations and sports. The sports keep her out of my hair and off her sisters butt for several hours a week so I am hesitant to cut them. Plus it would hurt the other kids on the team and that isnt fair to them. She has good grades and is fine with everyone else it is just me that pays. Anyway I wouldn't be able to impose anything until after graduation but it could easily be done at that point. [/QUOTE]
