[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 590187, member: 1721"] Our daughter left treatment facility AMA about a month ago. In that time, she has been in a car accident. The male she has been so drawn to for the past months was driving her van. Rumor has it he drove into a stone wall intentionally. Her van is totaled. She received a lacerated liver. Surgery was not required. She went back to him once she was discharged from hospital. Last year at this time, she was working. She received $7500 tax return this year. Had rented a cheap motel room for the two of them. It seems they were thrown out of that room some days ago. She called this morning. She has no money left. The man has disappeared. She continues to look for him. (Maybe in jail? Detox?) She tells us she has been living in an abandoned house since they were evicted from the motel and the man disappeared, and that, three days ago, she was raped at knifepoint. She said she has not eaten in three days. Though we swore we would not do it, we sent her $30. I contacted NAMI in her city. The person who called me back was wonderful to talk to. The city has everything a homeless person could want ~ shelter, place where food is served, excellent social services and medical care for the indigent. I remember someone here on the site writing once that people who find themselves in this position generally know all the places to go for help. I don't even know what my question is. I feel kind of shocky. husband, too. It is one thing to know things are going badly. It is something so horribly different to hear your child, adult or not, relate what is happening to her. She refused to go to the police. Said there might be a warrant for her arrest. I didn't even ask. I know the Serenity Prayer helps. We are going to take the NAMI Family to Family classes. I am posting here, and that helps. I don't think I even have a question. It helps to post, and not be alone with it. I am so glad you are here. Barbara [/QUOTE]
