[QUOTE="Ann1010, post: 750128, member: 24229"] So, last year, when she was going to counseling, she missed so many visits they told her they wouldn't see her anymore. She loves to blame other people, so she said she didn't like the counselor anyway and she should have known that one of her issues was being on time, etc etc. We were firm and said that she could find someone else but that we weren't going to pay if she continued to miss her appointments. by the way, I made her pay the missed appointment fee thinking that would straighten her out. Obviously I was wrong....And after that she was awesome....her moods greatly improved, she has been working 2 jobs, "seemingly" getting herself together. That's why this past weekend was such a punch in the gut. I had no idea where it came from. Right now, she pays rent...a small amount that doesn't really cover the cell bill, food, etc of living at home. She has a few rules, which get followed about 50% of the time. I was working with her on that, when she had this meltdown. Right now my main concern is going to be her finding help. But the scathing comments have made my husband and I doubt everything we've ever said or done, for her entire life. I, especially, keep beating myself up over it and know I need to stop. My husband just flat out told her he wasn't going to apologize for raising her [/QUOTE]
