[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 530037"] Nancy, I totally get where you are coming from. My son also has had lots and lots of therapy, wilderness program a therapeutic skill etc. As we have said before they are very similar and should never meet!! I know you have mentioned before that your daughter at one point was thought to be borderline personality disorder. Has she been through DBT therapy....because that is the one form of therapy that seems to work with Borderline (BPD)...that is my hope right now for my son that he will get that where he is. And it may very well be that I am pinning my hopes on yet another program that won't work... if this one doesn't I am not sure anything will. It may be our kids are different in that I think my son knows he struggles with depression and anxiety... I am not sure he realized what part anxiety plays until the last couple of years when he started having panic attacks. So I do know that at least a part of him wants to get help with the psychiatric issues.... even though I am not sure he wants to really give up the drug use. In any case you are taking care of yourself.... because until she really wants help and is in a situation where she is desperate for it, nothing you do will make any difference anyways. TL [/QUOTE]
