[QUOTE="compassion, post: 294968, member: 6393"] SWC, I cannot know for sure what she spends the 15 dollars on. It is working in that she is medication adherent and connecting with us more. (She is 16.) I know she buys cigs, food, pays kids for gas, candy stuff like that. Earlier this summer, she was had forged $3000 from my checking account. We got her a check card. I said, if you have this will you stop stealing, Yes: well, in two weeks, she was overdrawing , again about $500 worth. So, I closed the account. She does not have impulse control and I cannot keep her at home at this point so that is what we are doing so she has $ for food. School starts in 3 weeks (outpatient diversion program) so that will provide more structure. I cannot control if she does what she threatens to do steal stuff, pawn it/deal drugs. That will be her choice. What we can control is working with her on stability via medications as first step, remind her daily to make safe choices, and that school starts in 3 weeks. We are celebrating 5 days without rages/threats/intimidation. [/QUOTE]
