[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 562864, member: 3907"] I understand. Doctors' appointments are clearly not where you want to exert leverage then. Those compliance packs were a life-saver with my difficult child. Made things so much easier in so many ways -- from making sure that whoever was supervising his medications knew what he was supposed to take and when, to reducing the amount that could be lost or stolen at any given time. Yes, removing yourself from the equation as much as possible is sometimes the best strategy. To this day, there's a whole list of things that I will not do with or for my difficult child. (Driving him places, taking him out for one-on-one time like I do with the other kids, giving him money...blah blah blah.) Holdovers from the bad old days, all of them, but every time I've relented his rotten behaviour comes back in full force, so those lines are firmly in place. It stinks, but if that's the price of having a relationship with my son then I'm willing to pay it. I hope everything works out well with the plans you're putting in place. [/QUOTE]
