[QUOTE="kris, post: 31295, member: 74"] [I]sounds like things have been pretty hideous for you. here is what i would try. first call your local cop shop. tell them the situation & ask if you call will they provide transport to the ER. i would NOT try to take her on your own....& certainly not in your car. if you wait until she is calm to take her to ER she will not get admitted. she is pretty much either going to have to admit to her behaviors & also be demostrating her behaviors....at least to some extent. since she is an adult, well legally at any rate, i'd be surprised if the psychiatrist will even speak with-you. doesn't matter if you're paying the bills....legally she is old enough to give medical consent (14yo in most states actually) & has a right to privacy. what you can do is call, speak with-the nurse & advise her of what is going on but expect her to NOT discuss the situation with-you. sigh the violence against you simply CANNOT continue. the very next time she even tries to hit you or starts damaging your home call the cops. have her arrested if need be...tho they may just try & get her to leave. you may have to start looking at sending her out on her own. yes, i know you don't think she can survive, but you can't continue like this. it's truly, truly dangerous. you might want to contact your local MHMR department....they are usually county run. ask them if they know of alternative living facilities. also call your local NAMI chaper. they will hopefully have some resources she can tap into & they should also have a support group for caretakers of mentally ill adult children. kris[/I] [/QUOTE]
