[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 684850, member: 19905"] My daughter has not changed at all. If anything, the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) has made her worse - like you said, she now has an "excuse" and says "she can't help it." She can help it. She can get drug counseling. She can get psychiatric counseling. And those were the two conditions we set before she could come to our home because we knew she was far beyond our capabilities if she was unwilling to want to get better and take steps to do so. Lil, you said you don't think it is on purpose -that he truly "believes" that he is the wounded party. My daughter never, ever takes responsibility. She is always angry and moody and it is always someone's else's fault. Whether it is a purposeful "poor me" or her own disillusionment, there is nothing you can do until he takes responsibility for his own poor choices and the consequences of them. You can't live his consequences for him. [/QUOTE]
