[QUOTE="Despairing Mom, post: 740670, member: 23412"] Because my daughter lies continuously, it's impossible to know if she had restarted her relationship with this old man before she got the eviction notice. She told me she's willing to go with me to the SS office after she gets her things moved and her work "isn't so crazy" (she has a part-time job at a restaurant). I'm trying to come to acceptance that she's moving in with this verbally abusive, old man. It least she's not living in a cardboard box, right? I can't see her living with him for longer than a few weeks. He's an abuser and she enjoys chaos. She cannot allow any peace in any relationship. Three years ago when I was trying to help her find shelter, it was easier to find assistance if she had a duel diagnosis (mental health and addiction) or if she was a victim of domestic violence. I didn't know that I should lie, so I didn't and it cost her immediate housing. The lines to get into a homeless shelter were months long, so husband and I rented her an apartment. She's now been evicted from three different apartments. If she tells me when she becomes homeless again, I'll tell her to inform authorities that she's a DV victim and to lie and say she's an alcoholic. She's an expert at getting herself admitted to inpatient psychiatric units, so if she gets too cold, she can always go to the hospital. smh [/QUOTE]
