[QUOTE="PonyGirl, post: 19312, member: 187"] Wow Sue, it sounds like she's on a downward spiral. Wonder if something happened Up North (near me?? I know a "Tiff" [img]:smirk:[/img] ) to trigger this? Drugs? My gut reaction to your question <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">So...what can we do to get her help if she is bipolar and refuses to go for help??? </div></div> THROW HER OUT OF THE HOUSE Sounds cold, cruel, brutal, I know. She is safe with you, she is allowed to behave in this bizarre way with little consequence. Won't be like that in the 'real' world. She'll be forced to see her behavior is NOT normal, NOT okay, NOT accepted. She will become willing to go for help sooner that way. Again, just my gut reaction. And I apologize for my coldness. I'm worried for you, and for her, if her behavior continues to escalate. From your story, you're not only 'prisoners' in your own home, but she holds you hostage out in public, too. The lessons she's learning from being allowed to act that way are not helpful to her. I know you fear she's unable to live on her own. I agree with you. But she doesn't see that, and she never will unless she's forced to do it. And until she sees there's a problem, she'll never get any help. Sorry for your hurting heart. (((Hugs))) to you my friend. Peace [/QUOTE]
