[QUOTE="DawnMM, post: 650280, member: 18813"] When we had family based services, if I tried to trigger the fight for when they were here, and son would have been a sweetheart for the workers and then blown up 15 minutes after they left. I know you are reluctant to get rid of her computer because of her reaction, but I wonder what would happen if someone else did it, say the Internet company? My son was completely unwilling to do almost anything we wanted so rather than try to force him to comply we changed OUR behavior. YOU can reduce her Internet time by locking up the modemn when you go to bed and then plugging it back in when you get up. Yes, she will have a fit, if it gets scary, call 911. She sounds like she is addicted to the computer. Taking it away, "cold turkey," may be hard, reducing it slowly may get you a better reaction. You are in a difficult situation. Are her therapists and workers suggesting she be allowed to keep her computer and Internet? [/QUOTE]
