[QUOTE="ksm, post: 761639, member: 12511"] Hi, it's KSM, I am logging is as a guest. For some reason it says I need to update my account and the site is sending me a confirmation email, but it doesn't. And I can't post as myself or respond to messages. We still have our great grandson here with us. I have been on an exhausting ride of having DGD beg to come home and be with her son, I have bought multiple tickets, made multiple arrangements to drive her to the airport. And she either misses the flight, changes her mind, asks me to put boyfriend (the one with the 5 year no contact restraining order) name on the ticket, or she wonders off and then calls and doesn't know where she is. Yesterday she pulled the same stunt...walking away before 4 am without her phone, purse, ID, no coat and just a blanket she took from a lady who befriended her. That lady, Molly, reported her as a missing endangered person. About 10 hours later DGD was knocking on random doors and finally someone called the police to help her. The crisis mental health team had been notified multiple times so had her info on file. I asked the police not to just let her go, but to let the crisis team try to get her help. So she was taken to a special shelter where a "navigator" tries to give then resources to improve their situation. But the laws in this northwestern state changed this past year and there are no involuntary methods to get help. The police actually told me if she wanted to sit out in freezing rain with a blanket until she froze to death, they had no way to force her to go to a shelter. Where she was yesterday, she may not be there today. And they won't tell me if she walks away. And unless DGD contacts me, I can't contact her, unless it is thru her phone. They won't give them rides away from this facility, but will arrange rides to be admitted, seek mental or medical care, and even help get her to the airport. I have had a phone call, but I couldn't really hear her well...maybe my phone, or maybe she didn't put the phone near her mouth. She texted me during the night asking me "where are you?" It is heartbreaking. I have texted her this morning telling her I am at home, caring for your son, and hoping you get the help to return here." The police and the navigator believe her psychosis is drug related. I will update as I can. I hope I can get my account reset. Otherwise I will try to post as a guest. Ksm [/QUOTE]
