[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 508364, member: 1550"] Thanks to all. I have an appointment. with my own therapist at 3...I got in for an emergency appointment. When you have borderline you freak out easily and it's best to have a listening ear and I was fortunate to get one. My daughter was not in any state of mind to listen to any of my suggestions. The DV option I have talked to her about before. Therapist too. She does not really trust them (she saw them when she was using drugs and felt she fooled them and that they are not very helpful). I can work on that when she is truly better. I feel sick to my stomach. J. has a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone and I hate to see her taking about how one bad thing after another keeps happening in her life. And t hat she doesn't want anyone to help her (but she called me so many times that I don't think that's necessarily true). Of course,t he only real answer is that I have to let her do this herself and whatever she does s he does. I don't believe I have the power to stop her from hurting herself if she wants to and I think that a stay of 48 hrs. in some mental health facility will only make her more suicidal. She will not consider any medication long-term because of her old drug habits, but maybe I can suggest getting something to calm her for now...just while she is going through all this with Jerk. Jerk has always had anger issues, but it seems as if he is getting worse and worse as he refuses to get treatment, although he readily acknowledges needing it. My only consolation is that J. was very careful not to have a child while she was in school and now that she is just starting out in her field. She doesn't want to have kids until/unless she knows Jerk is "the one." I hope she can break from him and survive doing it because he will never be anything more than what he is. Even though I am choosing not to go to Chicago because she doesn't want me to and because I have a family here, I will NEVER forgive myself if anything happens to her. I will think I SHOULD have gone there....(sigh). If anyone had told me that having kids is so hard, I would not have had any. [/QUOTE]
