[QUOTE="totoro, post: 168272, member: 3155"] I am sorry you are having to deal with this. I think for those of us who have mental illness, and hopefully for our kids with mental illness as well, there comes a time when we break. We need help, if someone gives us a hand we would take it. I don't think she is at that point yet, nor knows how yet. She may have to go through some hard times before she can start recovery for her disorder and healing her mind. mental illness is very damaging to the brain, I would seek as much therapy as possible. While she is still home. Try not to engage her, I agree with the others, get her ready to be out on her own. Try to be on the same page as the rest of the family. Have a plan when she is out of control. Some people with mental illness will never take help. Others, yes. I personally will try anything... when I am doing well. But when a person, myself included, is unstable it is so hard. Our minds really "don't" want us to live in reality and see things rationally. Everyone is out to get us... and they really are! LOL Until she gets on the right medications,great Docs, maybe even hospitalizations more than once... (but she has to be OK with all of it) she will be out of control. Walk away, don't get sucked into the violence or the anger. If you have to lock up everything valuable until she is gone, do it. If you all have to walk out of the house when she is enraged, do it, call the cops and stay out until they show up. It will show her a message that you are done. You are serious, but let her know the whole time that you want and are desperately trying to help her and will be here for her. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
