[QUOTE="bran155, post: 332380"] Thanks all!!! I have missed all of you and think about all of you all of the time!!! To answer some of the questions: She is able to stay in the psychiatric. ward section of the Jail, I spoke to the director, but she refuses to do so and he cannot force her there. She refuses to take her medications and they cannot force her to do that either! There is no type of therapy in the regular part of the Jail, so she isn't receiving any! If she were to get sentenced to state time she would receive treatment. She spends 23 hours a day locked in her cell because she is so out of control!!! Which is a catch 22 cause I know they have to keep her and the other inmates, as well as the staff safe, but they are only enraging her more!!! I just keep reminding myself she is in JAIL, not a therapeutic placement!!! They just don't care! I have thought about writing a letter to the judge and the DA or even requesting a meeting, but her lawyer says that would not work and they just don't care. It's not like when she was in the court system where I live, they actually wanted to help her and really worked with me to do what was best for her. On one hand, I am frustrated, but on the other I feel as though she is going to just have to deal with the consequences of her actions! I used to be so engrossed in saving her and picking up her pieces!!! I have since grown a bit and now realize that I have already done EVERYTHING that I possibly could to save her. She has to live in her shoes and she is the one who is going to have to change her own life. If and when she is ready to do so then I will go the ends of the earth for her, but only if she is willing to join me!!! I only hope that I can keep this outlook when she gets out! That will be my true test. It's easy to be among the living when I know where she is and know that she is safe and alive. It's when she is out there in the gutter that sucks the life out of me.
