[QUOTE="Methuselah, post: 459299, member: 12725"] The only string we are obligated to grab is the diabetes string. The other strings she tries to pull just dangle. Yes, our team is through a children's hospital, so there are social workers we could access. Her CD is what rules her thought process, choices and behaviors; diabetes is one area it manifests itself. It is not unusual for teens to not want to manage their care. Most do it for a while, but then they become convinced Barney the Dinosaur was right: they are special! Usually, it takes one medical crisis for them to realize that's not what he meant. :-/ Not difficult child 1; she never changes. Never. Every day is like the movie Ground Hog's Day. It saddens me to say this: I don't believe she can be helped. She is absolutely unwilling to ever take responsibility for her choices. It is everyone else's fault. Always. Blame, blame, blame. This summer I witnessed her blame a kindergarten boy for something she did. When his mom told him he was going to get a spanking, she just sat there saying nothing. It perfectly ok for this innocent little boy to get a spanking! She has always been like this. Always. Thanks for your thoughts. This is the only place where there is a chance of people understanding. Because to the outside world, she puts on a facade of "good, innocent girl" and they buy it hook, line and sinker. [/QUOTE]
