[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 623605, member: 17720"] Echo and MWM, I have not thought seen these things that clearly before, about how so much of the self-destructive behavior is rooted in a preemptive strike and why they seem so determined sometimes to create a problem with no solution. How sad for them to be so young with so little sense of belonging. It confounds me to no end how my difficult child would flat out refuse to take any psychiatric medications because they were "unnatural" but he would drink a pint of vodka or swallow a few unidentifiable mushrooms without a second thought. There's no social life in psychiatric medications, at least not if they are used as prescribed. I guess feeling better isn't enough, really. And to get what they do want is a long, slow climb that they often aren't willing to make. So frustrating. I don't know how to help them break that cycle, just that if they don't want to there is nothing we can do. Anyway, there sure are a great and perceptive bunch of moms posting on this forum. Thanks for your insights. [/QUOTE]
