[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 318239"] We just went through a similar experience with- a well intentioned therapist who has helped our difficult child, but did not have a good handle on the background or the entire situation. What we have done is kind of an individualized/creative program....using tough love when appropriate. We try to determine what she is capable of doing and expect her to do her part. Sometimes there really are no great answers to these problems. I do know that it is basically impossible, to control another person. We can offer to help, and we can offer assistance. We can set up boundaries!! But we can not guarantee that another person will take our help or benefit by our help. We can only control ourselves and this includes our thoughts about it all. I am so sorry that you are alone in all of this. Is there anyone at all that can offer real support for you? [/QUOTE]
