[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 213416, member: 1233"] Marg outlined the operation's tactical and strategic points beautifully. GFO FOR IT with the DA. The worst they can do is escort you from the building. And the DA did say he would speak with you, you are simply trying Occupational Therapist (OT) be accomodating to a very busy person! As for your daughter, she is playing you. Or the system. Either way, don't ever let her see you sweat. She clearly is ill, but that does NOT excuse her behavior. I DO realize they can't force her to take her medications. I think that it is the craziest thing on the face of the earth, but they can't. they don't have to make life easy for her though. TELL the CO about her wanting to stay in the psychiatric ward and making things up so she can be with a girlfriend. You want her to be as miserable as possible in jail. It is harsh. But necessary. You also need to make it a point to never, EVER take her into your home to stay again. Not until she has been through enough of whatever treatment she needs to make her stable and safe. Stress your younger child's safety, your own safety, and her refusal to follow even basic house rules. Sign her over to the state, whatever it takes to wake her up and make her own her behavior and the consequences of such while keeping the rest of you SAFE. I am so sorry. I know this is terribly painful. But how much harder would it be to see her in prison after seriously hurting or killing your younger child? It is a harsh thing to say, but you are in a harsh situation. Make her unhappy where she is. Move her to where she will be unhappy until she either gets better or she isn't under your control. It is your only real option. I also agree - DO NOT DROP THE CHARGES!!!!! You lose EVERYTHING if you do. Absolutely everything, including the hope of a future with your daughter. She simply MUST find some benefit to staying within the laws, or she will break them until she ends up dead or in prison for good (jail and prison are very different from what I understand).
