[QUOTE="accmama, post: 608333"] Thanks so much. Yes, we did seek out a therapist who specializes in Dialectical Behavior therapy, but as soon as we got started with treatment our insurance company decided they'd no longer work with that person. Unfortunately, that was the ONLY therapist who can do DBT in our city. The nearest one on our insurance is 2 hours away. We have the WORST mental health coverage. It is absolutely ridiculous that they can get away with this. I honestly think it would be easier to treat some forms of cancer than this because at least it would be taken seriously. Not only that, but taking her to therapy is like pulling teeth. One minute she needs to see her therapist right now or else she'll die. The next minute she's refusing appointments because she'd rather hang out with friends. I owe her last doctor several hundred dollars in no show fees because she'd disappear and not be home in time to leave for her appointment. It is miserable. I just checked with her. She says she's at her friends apartment, though I don't know the address or even the neighborhood or even this friends name, but I guess as long as she is able to communicate with me and not harassing my mom we're okay for right now. She does have a job and she works almost full time, so that was the reason for her not wanting to come home when she was kicked out of my mom's today. She said she wanted to stay local so she could keep her job. [/QUOTE]
