[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 239677, member: 2459"] I'm so sorry...that hoovers. I agree with the others....I wouldn't really do much for the next two weeks. Let her dig her own hole. I realize you love her and want her to get help but if by chance you do get her admitted somewhere, come her birthday she's out and probably won't comply with anything. Plus it's not like the docs could do a whole lot in only 2 weeks or less. That's the kicker about the mental ill/committment laws....the person has to do harm before something can be done. husband had to go through this with his mother who is mentally ill. She could hear voices, call 911 to tell the police to bring her some cigarrettes, take baths in toilet cleanerand cut up her suitcase to use as a back splash for the sink but it wasn't until she broke the antennae off a radio and smacked my sister in law with it that we could get her hospitalized. As hard as it will be, for the next two weeks, let her do her thing. (no violence of course though. Call the police if that happens....no exceptions) Yes be realistic ( no playing in the electrical outlets) but for the most part....let her be. She will land herself back .....well .....inside SOMEWHERE and maybe THEN she can get some help. Hugs. It won't be easy. [/QUOTE]
