[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 599014, member: 6546"] Something many of us here have learned the hard way: there are doctors, and then there are the RIGHT doctors. Unless your child was thoroughly tested (and I mean several hours worth of psychological testing) - then you did not get all the answers you needed. Unfortunately, at her age, there is not much you can do. You no longer have the right to force her into treatment. You *can* however take measures to protect yourself and your other child from nasty outburts. You *can* set some requirements for difficult child continuing to live in your home. Maybe she has to pay rent? or at least pitch in for groceries? She should have some responsibilities such as cooking / cleaning....and she absolutely needs to demonstrate respect for her house-mates. Don't be surprised if she finds those requests completely unreasonable... If she doesn't like it - she can leave. And maybe the "real world" will be a good experience for her? [/QUOTE]
