[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 75362, member: 1157"] I really struggle with this, with my Oldest. There are days I like her, but other days when I cringe when I hear "her ring" on my cellphone. She's just so ... vampire-like. She can :censored: the energy right out of me sometimes. A visit from her is draining. I make jokes about my "crazy daughter," which really isn't very funny I suppose, but it's the only way to deal with explaining her behavior to others sometimes. Someone (maybe here?) advised me years ago to embrace the GOOD things about Oldest when I'm feeling especially negative. That really does help. Two weeks ago she was hospitalized for migraines, until they figured out she was actually drug-seeking, and she began screaming at the nurses for more pain medications. She signed herself out Against Medical Advice when they tried to transfer her to the psychiatric unit. I just don't think she'll ever get well, to be honest with you. And that really saddens me.
