[QUOTE="susanrn68, post: 679759, member: 20068"] I'm so...bewildered...my daughter is 23. Over the last year she spiraled downward living on her own, was not able to hold a job (she would just stop going), would not take an antidepressant, or keep appointments with therapy. She has been diagnosed with boarderline personality disorder and severe depression. She was hospitalized 3 times last year for suicidal thoughts. I finally had to stop enabling her and let her get evicted and go to a homeless shelter. She won't go through the motions with case management to apply for disability. She has now been at the shelter for 3.5 months. No drugs or alcohol. She has a car, and did finally get a job at a Braums ice cream and grocery store. The shelter was working with her to get an apartment. Then she just stopped going to work!!!! She spends 8-10 hrs a day on the Internet at McDonalds. (She purchased a laptop via credit card prior to eviction). She has now said she never wants to see me again. I guess my question is... Is there anything else I can do for her? Legally? Do I just have to accept this is the life she wants? It is just so hard to accept! [/QUOTE]
