[QUOTE="StressedM0mma, post: 562737, member: 13204"] CB, I understand where you are coming from. I was, and still am in a similar situation. I am going to tell you what so many people on the board have told me, and at the time I was scared to do it, but you really need to. If you cannot get her into the car physically, you need to call the police on her. I know it sucks, and it is a very scary thing to have to do, but you need to explain to your difficult child that she has to go to school. It is the law. And, it is her "job" right now. My difficult child was reusing h\last year, and we were not forcing her to go, and it was a huge battle to get her back in. You cannot let her have the power to make that decision. We did have the police come to our house when difficult child was acting out. And they were on our side, and told difficult child that we could do whatever it took to get her in the car and get her to school. Even if that meant we had to drag her down the stairs. She started this again a little this year, and everytime she would do it, I would call someone to escort her into the building. More than anything I wanted my difficult child to know that I meant what I said. She would call my bluff, and I would back down. No More. I have never dealt with a medication refusal. But, I hand my difficult child her medications in the morning and the evening and watch her take them. Can you give difficult child her medications before you leave in the morning? THat way you know that she has taken them? I hope that things start to get better, and that she will get back into school. [/QUOTE]
