[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 765228, member: 4152"] This type of thing is the age old question. Tough love very often works with young people. It's advisable as it very much helps them see reality. However, what of people who are mentally ill? Is it just being, for lack of a better way of putting it, sort of unkind? If you think she might respond to any letter you write in a manner that might incriminate her legally or cause you mega stress, then I would factor that into your decision. But, at some point, a letter might be good. Perhaps one reinforcing [I]boundaries[/I] and that you do love her but absolutely can not and will not tolerate certain behaviors and/or the breaking of boundaries. That you always hope for the best for her, but again...reinforcing [I]boundaries.[/I] The word that we must practically write on our hands to contemplate / remember throughout each day. (Wish they would too!) Blessings. [/QUOTE]
