[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks all for the insight and advice.

She is in therapy. There is/has been a lot of therapy, but overwhelmingly she has made it clear that she does not want to participate in therapy. She still goes but does not engage. These are therapists that she has picked, we have picked, others have recommended.

In the hypothetical scenario of the paint swatches. If we got her swatches and taped them to the wall, they would hang there until the end of time and she would never remark on them.

Sometimes this works in our favor, like when she wants a tattoo. We say we’d love to talk about it (with her social worker ofc)! Bring us some ideas and research some artists. And then she never does this and then the tattoo doesn’t become a reality.

We’ve spent a lot of time helping her with executive functioning, and there’s been some progress. However her ability to execute is marginal at best.

What is the long term plan?  She may not want to decorate as she knows this is a temporary sitiation and is angry and pushing you away to protect herself.[/quote]
