[QUOTE="detachingmother, post: 679874, member: 20063"] Meth is nasty nasty nasty on the mind. One thing to do is inpatient long term intensive...if it's at all possible. When she's having an "episode" you can take her to the hospital and have her involuntarily admitted. I did this with Son, and had to try varying counties, until I found one that took him. Some took him and released him the next morning...finally found one that took him for 5 days in a locked facility. It was this that started a turning point at least. I have also had cops come take him to jail if need be...necessary to protect one's self sometimes as painful as it is. I look at where son is now as a "relapse"...addicts, mentally ill go through relapses. as I am sure you know. Son was doing very well... even so I kept him at a distance, because he wasn't taking treatment and medications seriously enough...he just took 10 steps forward and 20 back this time. It will never be normal until later down the road for us....but I'm just hoping for "controlled" or "mostly adjusted". Meth does ever-lasting damage to the brain...lots of info out there if you haven't already checked it out. If she's to the point of unrecognizable, she is being badly affected. :notalone: Geeshhhhhhh. I wrote a darn book again. Sorry.... [/QUOTE]
