[QUOTE="Star*, post: 209232, member: 4964"] Hi Mary with an ulcer - (try prilosec and rolaids) - OH be serious...... Listen at 21 it's not impossible to help her, but with each passing year it does become more difficult. Most of the older parents of older children (did I say OLDER US? NOOOOO) will tell you the BEST thing you can learn at some stage is detachment. And for the majority of your doings it sounds like you are trying not to be 100% involved - just be a stable rock. If that's the case? I would get her an evaluation IMMEDIATELY - problem is with her being 21 it's up to her if she goes or not - AND the information that is given will be privledge ONLY to her unless she signs a waiver of guardianship or if you sit in the same room and she says in front of the doctor - YOU CAN TELL MY MOM - HERE I'll sign the HIPAA waiver. (it's annoying for us folks with 18's and up who need mental help) very annoying. Just wanted to prepare you - Oh and another thing to consider is that there is NO guarantee IF she does get the drugs that she will take them and not SELL them. That extra cash is very tempting. You may find more answers with the group on Parents Emeritus.....I hope you come over there when you can. Welcome to the board..... Star [/QUOTE]
