[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 602941, member: 1967"] Hello and I am sorry that you are dealing with this. I seriously doubt that your daughter will starve herself to death so I do see the refusing to eat part as sheer manipulation. I also don't think that you should just let her lie there. If she is that depressed, she needs treatment now. I don't see why they would use shock treatment before they try to stabilize her on medications. Either take her to the ER of call an ambulance and tell them that she is depressed and refusing to eat. They may tell you that she is fine and doesn't need treatment but at least you will feel better then when you tell her she will have to find a new place to live. Let me caution you about one thing that Witz said. Depending on the state that you live in, you may not be able to just kick her out. In my state, you have to go through the eviction process even if your adult child is not paying any rent. We were told we would have to give her 30-day notice and go through the court to start the proceedings. Your daughter obviously can't lie in bed the rest of her life so I think you need to take action ASAP. Keep posting and we will be here for support. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
