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

[QUOTE="mindinggaps, post: 762787, member: 29823"] Thank you all. [USER=4152]@Nomad[/USER] I agree with the statement that my parents should be treated with respect, but at the same time feel it is important to respect and establish boundaries. As I mentioned to others, I operate as an independent and functional adult - I have a job, I don't live with my parents, and I don't receive any practical or financial support from them. With that in mind, I think they also need to respect and recognize that they are not in control of my life decisions anymore and my frustration stems from the fact that I have explained this to them many times but it seems to not be understood. They do have my well being in mind, no doubt, but at some point it is condescending and like they cannot trust me to manage with doctors on my own. [/QUOTE]
