[QUOTE="MockTertl, post: 227295, member: 6548"] Yes, she was diagnosed and on medicine. I can't commit her - I have tried unsuccessfully to go this route - after 24 hours the committed are free to walk. When she was under the care of a licensed and competent psychiatrist and on medicine she was doing better with coping and getting along - not perfect, but manageable. I am afraid bipolar may be an issue, but I'm not a licensed dr. I am trying to get her on medicaid with her sisters and pray she won't do anything stupid before I can get her somewhere for help. In her relatively rare lucid moments she knows she needs help and is not happy. She will be placing a financial strain on me (as well as already emotional and financial) as she won't have transportation to get to where she needs help - it will be up to me and as it has in the past, it will become detrimental to the financial well being of me and her sisters. I have already been under threat of foreclosure this year for falling behind in mortgage as she constantly joepardizes my ability to get work done to pay the bills, she emotionally drains and strains me and I am constantly wondering what will set her off next and is it safe to leave her home with her sisters. I feel so stuck between a rock and a hard place living in the middle of nowhere. :sad-very: [/QUOTE]
