[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 404897, member: 1169"] She keeps trying to demand "passes" -- meaning time away from staff in the community. She also claims that one of her staff suggested that it would be a great idea for her to get a job at the gas station down the street from the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). While I know you will be shocked, my answer was "no". We have family therapy coming up on Monday and she asked today what I wanted to talk about in it. I told her that I wanted to talk about how she is still not accepting our decisions with the respect we deserve. She immediately went off about how we don't have the right to make decisions for her, that she doesn't get why we keep saying 'when you're 18', and tried to argue that her definition of 'behaviors' is the one that should be used in all future conversations rather than the one found in the dictionary. I guess that is one way to "win" arguments -- simply change the definition of the words so that they only mean what you want them to mean. :crazy2: [/QUOTE]
