[QUOTE="DDD, post: 553306, member: 35"] I have no idea how I missed this post but I'm coming in late with very caring supportive hugs and thoughts. She surely is a complicated difficult child and I'm not qualified to make suggestions based on experience. I do believe, for example, that when you were told you could get her involuntarily commited that it likely is a Baker Act which is for a couple of days so the psychiatrists can evaluate her mental state. Frankly in our community only the highly dangerous seriously ill are kept for treatment. I understand the conflict but as you know I really advise not depleting your retirement. It's very scarey to age with-o the backup funds that make living pleasant. You and your husband are still "young" but frankly starting at fifty serious health issues can pop up unexpectedly and require a financial cushion. I'm sending caring/supportive prayers and hugs. by the way, please don't forget to keep records so you can apply for Disability for her. It can take years to get it but if she can't function consistently in a healthy independent way she likely is eligible. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
