[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 133144, member: 1169"] Janet & Fran, Thanks for the words of support. I don't think we are going to tell the other children that she has become a ward. They have not seen her since she was hospitalized. There won't be any change in their (non)relationship with her. Since I posted, I spoke with several more professionals that we have been working with. They pointed out the positives of this step 1. we won't be legally liable for any crimes/damages she may commit 2. she will move to the front of the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) wait lists (as a ward) and may be placed in as few as 30 days 3. if she remains a ward on her 18th birthday, she qualifies for many "transitional" life services that are only available to wards 4. I can quit spending 5 hours a day searching for services and can focus on my other children 5. we will all be safe I'm going to cling to those 5 points. I feel like I am anticipating a death, the death of the dream of a true mother-daughter relationship. [/QUOTE]
