[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 720556, member: 1157"] This is tough, but unfortunately there really isn't much you can do except let it go, and let her take charge of her own health. I know that's scary. My oldest was pretty bad at taking care of her Crohn's Disease/staying medication compliant for many years, and has paid a heavy price, health-wise. She even had doctors discharge her from their service for being non-compliant. It was really hard to watch but I had to just stop .. . stop talking to her about it, stop enabling her in any way. It took me a long time to get there, and I still worry she'll die before me ... but I've come to terms with that. I love her, but it's her journey. Is your daughter sick enough to get disability? There may be resources/programs there that can help her become more independent. My oldest finally applied/was accepted a couple years ago, and that's been a load off my mind. [/QUOTE]
