[QUOTE="slsh, post: 239996, member: 8"] Compassion - have you notified the police that she ran? If not, I would. You can report her as a missing person *and* as at-risk or whatever the terminology is in your location. Everytime my difficult child goes AWOL, a police report is made immediately because he's mentally ill and at-risk. There's no waiting period (sometimes you hear you have to wait X-number of hours - not so with mentally ill minors and/or adults, at least in Chicago). If I were you, I would really emphasize to the police that she has been extraordinarily unstable these past few days (at the very least) and that you were planning on having her evaluated at a hospital this afternoon. I have to tell you - you have really gone the extra mile and then some in trying to manage her behaviors, and helping *her* to manage her behaviors. I'm really quite in awe of your strength and stamina. I've actually felt a little guilty reading your posts because I just don't have it in me to put in that kind of focused attention with my difficult child. While my patience has improved over the years, your efforts just put me to shame. Please, no matter what kind of stuff your daughter throws your way, know that you are one truly outstanding parent for her. I hope she's found soon. A gentle hug to you. [/QUOTE]
