[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 494810, member: 3907"] Eeyore sounds very much like our difficult child did at 16. At 22 he has a bit more maturity and control (and much better medications), but we still have to keep the leash very very short. Any loosening results in a near-complete loss of all the skills he's acquired over the years in therapy, Residential Treatment Center (RTC) etc. What's that phrase? "He works well when cornered like a rat in a trap." Describes difficult child to a T. We are in the process of setting up guardianship, powers of attorney etc. for difficult child, as he's not likely to be able to manage his own affairs for a very long time if ever. And starting succession planning to determine how difficult child's guardianship should be handled once husband and I are gone, since putting any of his siblings in that position might be far too much pressure on them. Weighty matters indeed. [/QUOTE]
