[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 714572, member: 1550"] Hon...your daughter can not peacefully live in your home. It doesnt really matter why. If she is sick enough, you need to insist she apply for Disability. If she gets it, she will be assigned a caseworker who WILL help her move out of your house and into somewhere more appropriate, such as a group home for adults with mental illnesses. I know people who live in homes like these. They are not hospitals but staff can help. You cant help and this daughter is not able to happily live with the family. This is not cruel. It isnt good for your daughter to get away with her behavior without doing anything to get better. Even if she seeks help it will likely be years, maybe a decade, before she is stable and you and tje rest of your family need to live at home without fear. After the first shock of it, shemay like her freedom too. Disability will give her spending money. Caseworker will also help her find a suitable job so she can feel useful. She needs to leave but I would not pay for rent if she can not behave properly in her own place. Obviously she needs supervision. But you are not physically strong enough to restrain her if she gets violent and, as her mother, you cant bear to set strict boundaries that she will keep. Let other people do it now. You have done all you can. I wish you luck. [/QUOTE]
