[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 189255, member: 1991"] Bran, you said, "I will absolutely make her life as miserable as I possibly can if she refuses to comply. I am just afraid of the meltdowns she will no doubt have without her medications. It will be complete and utter chaos!!! Hopefully the misery I force her to live in will make her change her mind about the medication." So, looking at this - "I will absolutely make her life as miserable as I possibly can if she refuses to comply." START NOW. "I am just afraid of the meltdowns she will no doubt have without her medications. It will be complete and utter chaos!!!" IS IT GOING TO BE AS BAD AS THE CHAOS FROM HER REFUSING HER medications AND TREATMENT? And how long will YOUR chaos last, compared to the chaos from her? "Hopefully the misery I force her to live in will make her change her mind about the medication." That's the idea. Start now. Start yesterday. Stand your ground. Invest in a storage unit to put in everything you take out of her room, because if you put it elsewhere in the house she will just steal it back again. Also, be prepared to live frugally yourselves so she can't re-supply her own 'needs' from your stash. If you've got stuff in storage, then if she relents and chooses to comply, reward her with quick re-supply (at least to the household as a whole). If she breaks the rules again, then it's another quick trip to t he storage unit. Do not let her know where the stash is hidden, do not let her find the key. I like BBK's direction of thought, also. If difficult child is putting you, husband and easy child at risk then see what legal action you can take (such as a court order?) to make her comply and give your own discipline methods more 'teeth'. A contract maybe? There has to be a way. If there isn't one, you have the power to make a way. Marg [/QUOTE]
