[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 738390, member: 1550"] I did a lot to help myself too but i used the medical community. There was nothing else then. I laud whatever works. Kudos to an amazing daughter, Wish. She is brave, strong and smart, like her mother. McDonna, sadly your daughter has been at this much longer and may never admit illness (doubt anyone can really devinitively diagnose her...she has complicated behaviors) BUT she can change the way she behaves IF she is VERY motivated. I think first this newest blip in your life with her has to play out and you need to see if her strange story is true. If not....she is not ready. I have always felt, and still do, as a mental health advocate, that the earlier somebody with challenges reaches for help with sincerity and eillingness to try, the more successful the person will be in the big picture. The longer bad behaviors persist, the harder they are to change. And the more one has to wonder if the person WANTS to do better. This is where Wish's daughter is inspirational and I feel will end up living a good life, making good decisions, being healthy. As Wish has done. Wish, I have helped all my adult kids, even those who were doing well, because that is what I feel a mother should do and what I want to do. Ironically I only wont help if a child goes wrong and, as you brought up, wont admit it or get help. You think like a loving mom, Wish :) Every situation varies and sometimes there are surprises. I hope and pray to the universe and ourhigh power for all of our adult kids to wake up and try to do their very best, whatever that is. I send light and love! [/QUOTE]
