[QUOTE="aws0107, post: 677610, member: 19841"] Well, she ended up at her dad's. It seemed To be working fine until last night. She got enrolled in a local community college and took a part-time job to supplement her full-time one, but is still hanging with losers in the worst neighborhood in town. She "had a bad day" according to her and called in to work. Apparently a friend had stopped by in the morning....not sure why....but she made herself breakfast (already having called onto work) and ultimately skipped class (2nd week, sigh). She called me and said she and her dad got into it and he accused her if skipping work and class to hang out with her crap friends and let them eat his food, etc. It turned into a screaming match and according to her, he said she wasn't welcome there any longer. That was all I knew until the police knocked on my door look for her. They said she called them stating she was being followed and didn't know where she was and hung up when they pressed her for more information (typical angry behavior for her). They came to my place looking for her and asked me to to try to reach her. No answer, but dispatch finally got her and she tells them she didn't call and doesn't need help. Wtf??? The officer proceeds to tell me that she is probably "working" for these guys to get crack. Crack?? Seriously? He asked if there was an underlying mental health issue l I told him yes, untreated bipolar disorder most likely. He did go on to give some helpful advice claiming his mother is the same way, won't take medications etc. But is it bad that I don't even care to have a discussion with her about this? The officer also said she probably won't stop hanging where she does and with who she does until she gets mental health treatment. She's 19 though, and won't listen to reason. I just feel like at this point she isn't going to hear anyone until she gets hurt or desperate or both.
