[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 722576, member: 1550"] Call NAMI, the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, to get assistance and options. If daughter is a danger to your other daughter, she is probably a danger to you too. She isnt getting better or getting help under your roof. She will probably need to be forced to go to a hospital or shelter to get the wake up call she needs to accept help. That non stop verbal abuse has got to hurt you. You dont have to listen to that. Listening to her abuse does not help her. If she lays a hand on anyone call the police. She has to learn that her illness does not absolve her of societal norms and decency. Obviously something is wrong with her, but you cant do anything for her. She is the only one who can help herself. But if nothing changes, nothing changes. You can change YOUR behavior toward her, which will maybe force her to deal with her illness rather than just being sick. At a last resort you can give her two weeks or months to get help (and say she has to sign her consent for you to talk to her psychiatrist) in order for her to live under your roof. You can make it mandatory that she leave if she refuses help. Many of us do this hard step. I wish you love and luck! [/QUOTE]
