Sometimes you just can't avoid it. I have to monitor her meds at some level pretty much all the time. She did resent it in the beginning because she didn't like me treating her like a child. But she had taken herself off her meds before, so I really didn't give her a choice. Now that she has been on track for quite a while, I give her more space & don't question her as much unless she's having an off day. But since she is pretty much stable now, it will be obvious if she's not being compliant.
