[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 178324"] I really feel for you...some of what you posted rings true for me as well, although our adopted daughter has the diagnosis and does take medication. She does not wish to raise her medication or take any additional medication at this point due to weight gain. I too would consider asking her if she would like you to explore natural medication possibilities for her or take her to a naturopath physician. For the most part, I have detached because our daughter goes in and out of the ability to progress and I have found it to be too emotionally draining. It hampers my own personal growth too much and I don't think it does much for hers. I am always willing to provide money for medical and psychological care (so that she can get the help she needs) and can offer advice if it is asked for. I do all the "mom" stuff like holidays and so forth. I have found that books on boundaries have been helpful, as well as keeping myself busy, in prayer, happy and productive. Knowing that she 1) is covered medically 2) is being nurtured appropriately 3) and keeping myself psycholoigcally healthy...keeps me from worrying. [/QUOTE]
