[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 350158, member: 7083"] I don't even know what to say. For 2 weeks, difficult child was doing very well. She even invited friends over after school. Something she hasn't done this school year, even though I've asked her about it. And now...the bottom's fallen out again. To top it off she's sick, I'm sick, and she couldn't go to the psychiatrist appointment today. We rescheduled for Tuesday. My mom came up today and we talked to therapist. therapist is still looking into residential therapy. She and other psychologists have a regular luncheon where they talk about hard cases and brainstorm, and share experience and resources. She also wants to schedule a time - on her day off - to do an intervention type thing with difficult child. She said she would come to the house. I'm not sure on the details yet of what that will entail. difficult child thinks if therapist would fix all of us (me, my mom, easy child and DF) then everything would be perfect. She doesn't have a problem, we do...in her mind. I'm supposed to be forcing independence down her throat. I've been trying to force independence for some time now. I guess I'm supposed to step it up. I'm not entirely sure how to do that. I mean, I guess I am...kinda. But, I'm so sick right now and I know it's going to be WWIII. I'm just really overwhelmed. Really, really overwhelmed. And I can't think because of the migraine and pain medications. I'm having a hard enough time managing day to day functions. Sigh... [/QUOTE]
