[QUOTE="tryagain, post: 621472, member: 14865"] Thank you ALL. The excellent and amazingly consistent advice from so many wounded warriors really helped husband and I to stand firm today. We have communicated to her that she must get help, or her entire support system will fall apart, meaning all of the family plus the boyfriend. And something good we had not planned on- is that she does not know all the mental health laws and assumes that she is supposed to return to the P hospital. And we certainly are not going to inform her otherwise! Now we have a new dynamic today because the boyfriend appears to have finally had enough. He would like for her to move out because he says he just can't take it anymore, and I totally get that. Who wants furniture and dinner plates hurled at them? Upon hearing this, we thought "now she'll try suicide again", but the (regular) hospital has wisely put a 24 hour sitter in her room while she is there. We cannot have her live under our roof again. No way. So if she winds up back in this area, we will be glad for her to re-enroll in community college and/or find a job. But she will be in her own place paying for all or part of it as she gets on her feet again -hopefully. She has a strong record of depending on others, and it will not be easy for her. We are attempting to walk the fine line of minimal support without enabling. We actually pay for very little for her except for medical, which is crucial right now. Thank you for the support and I'll keep you posted. [/QUOTE]
