[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 764833, member: 22840"] Michelle ~ I made a change in the background, you should be able to change your user name now. If you can't, let me know by responding here or sending me a private message by selecting the envelope on the top right of your screen, then selecting "start a new conversation", then fill in my userid "Deni D" and any title and content telling me what you want your new user id to be. I understand the push and pull of what to do, not to do for your daughter. First ~ to keep yourself safe it might be a good idea to be proactive with your local police department. I think I'd call and make an appointment with them to discuss your daughters mental health and see how they handle "Baker Acting" someone. I think both you and your husband should meet with them together. If they seem to understand then good, if not then watching out for your safety by locking up at all times and having a good escape plan (like a day or few in a different location) just in case will help. Take a deep breath, I've been in both the over the top panic mode and the this could not possibly be happening mode at the same time. Clear mind, just in case, protect yourself and it's no one else's business if you take a vacation 10 miles down the road with great room service and a really nice pool for a few days. Second ~ You are now entering a new phase and you don't know what to expect from your daughter. Your have said "enough" to your daughter who has never dealt with "enough" from you before so you are frightened of what her response will be, what will happen to her. Has she been hospitalized before? How many times? What have the charges been when she has been in jail? It doesn't seem right that she has been jailed just for mental health issues. I'm asking so I can understand why she has to be jailed to take medication. We here know it's all about boundaries, and you will work through what you will and won't do for her eventually going forward. This is a turning point for you, your husband, and for her. . [/QUOTE]
