[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 486179, member: 6546"] Well...just got off the phone with the Behavior Therapist - and yep...that's EXACTLY what she wanted to talk about: Why would we kick difficult child out at 18? When she'll have no job, no money and no place to go? Ugh! I reminded the therapist that our goal is *supposed* to be helping difficult child become a successful adult. So why are we worried about what she is going to do at 18? Shouldn't we be helping her learn necessary skills right now? Like say - brushing her teeth? wearing clean clothes? doing homework? etc? Maybe if difficult child can start 'getting it together'...she won't have to worry about what happens at 18. The only good news is that therapist realized I was right...and she is going to re-direct difficult child's concerns to the here and now. Whew! Glad that's over (for now, anyway...) [/QUOTE]
