Parents, how did you respond when your adult children stopped medication?

[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 762697, member: 4152"] Copa said … “But the thing is, your parents have been through a lot with you. If they are anything like me, they love you and they are fearful. They care. They want the best for you. It hurts them to see you struggle. They want your life to be easier.” Also mentioned …cutting them some slack. I would agree. Would add they have likely been the direct repeated recipient /target of your anger, anxiety , depression (negative emotions) in the past and could be extraordinarily anxious of repeat great difficulties. Indeed, the entire discussion was probably brought up at an inappropriate time, quickly went south and they were asked to leave. An indication that you might very well still might need this medication (perhaps a lower dose?) , or more time to work it all out. in my humble opinion, best to treat your parents with kindness and respect and to learn skills to appropriately and kindly express when you feel they are crossing a line with your privacy. Ironically, our special needs child has an abundance of issues, but stopping her medications has never been one. She wants to take her medications. She recently changed one with her doctors guidance due to side effects. So, this has not been a discussion. [/QUOTE]
