[QUOTE="Just-a-mom, post: 623578, member: 17800"] I can't thank you all enough for your wisdom and support. Yesterday our lives came crashing down when my sister discovered valuable items included her wedding rings stolen from her house. We all knew it was my difficult child. She was confronted and for the first time ever didn't fight it, instead she fessed. She has been heavily addicted to oxy for quite awhile now. This is what was causing all the lying, stealing and money problems. In addict talk she hit a bottom last week when she stole from my sister and then basically in her mind had no more resources for money. She has been detoxing since then. So yesterday I called the cops and they came and got her and arrested her on a mental health warrant and took her in the police car to the psychiatric ward. Meanwhile my sister charged her with theft (difficult child told where the stolen items were - pawn shop- so thankfully my sister can at least get back her rings. With the charge how it usually works here is she will have to face a judge. The judge will order her to a treatment facility, if she completes treatment, then the charges will be dropped.... All that is yet to be seen. Today we are going to an addiction assessment. difficult child is anxious but letting us help her. Tomorrow, medical with her doctor, then we can apply for treatment. As the treatment facility is govt sponsored, there is a wait, but they think they can get her in on April 14. We could get her in to a private facility tomorrow but the cost is $36,000 for six weeks. Plain and simple, we can't afford it. Her car is dead, her phone was taken in exchange for drugs. Family is rallying, all of us. Pray for us. Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
