[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 322158, member: 2459"] Welcome! You've definately found the right place. As for your question about moving your post, the easiest thing would be to simply start a new one but put a link to this one in it so you don't have to retype the entire history and answers to everyone's questions. If you can't talk your sister out of moving in with you, I would lay down the law right from the start. Rules, expectations, etc. Make sure there are very clear consequences and stick to them. If the apartment isn't soley in your name, get written permission from the owner/leaseholder to say who can and can't live there so you have the authority to kick her out if need be. If it comes to that, be prepared to change the locks. Let the building manager and/or neighbors know that she isn't to be there and have that form somewhere safe so she can't get to it. If she gets violent, be prepared to call the police. They may not be equipped to handle situations like hers but you can request that they transport her to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. Sister or not, diagnosis or not, she does not have the right to get physical with you. It's YOUR apartment (for all intents and purposes), YOUR body and keeping yourself safe is the priority. Another thought if this happens...if you are still relearning the language and the police may not speak fluent English, you may want to write/type something out in that language explaining the situation and what you want done. This way, if things get out of hand and you are incapacitated or too stressed to explain things well in that language, you have something right there. You may also want to check into how things are done there if a psychiatric evaluation/admission is needed. Welcome again. Things may be slow around here for the next couple of days as it's Thanksgiving but you WILL get more replies. [/QUOTE]
