[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 721429, member: 1157"] I'm sorry, Pasa. This is so rough, I know. Not much more I can say that others haven't said, but it made me think of something a psychiatrist said to me long ago. I told her I didn't understand how my child couldn't/wouldn't "do the right thing" when she had all the tools in front of her. The doctor's response was, "You're right, you've given her ALL the tools she needs. But she's tossing them aside, saying, "but I don't want those tools, I want THESE tools instead! Give me the tools *I* WANT!" That's it in a nutshell, really. I hope he'll get it, someday. In the meantime, stay safe. [/QUOTE]
