[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 597665, member: 1233"] I know you love her and want to 'fix' her, but you are in WAY WAY WAY over your head. Get YOURSELF to a professional counsellor who treats addiction and the FAMILY of addicts. Educate yourself about addiction and get OUT of this cycle. If seh is a danger to self or others, get her to a psychiatric hospital REGARDLESS of what her dad and mom say. She is an adult and so are you. You will NOT help her by staying up all night on 'suicide atch'. That is for PROFESSIONALS. One thing professionals KNOW is that you do NOT NOT NOT NOTNOT treat a family member. This entire situation is bizarre and very very codependent. You ALL need therapists and AA/NA family groups to help you see that by doing all you do, you are lovingyour niece to death. You cannot fix her. Or the situation. Or her parents. Or anyone but yourself. Please bring the professionals into this, and if her folks object to psychiatric treatment, let them move to your area or wherever is safe and let THEM change their entire lives to be codependent with her and to do the suicide watch etc... FYI, she is an addict. You KNOW she is lying if her lips are moving. You will end up SHOCKED at the sheer volume and cruelty of the lies in this story she has fed you and her folks. You will wonder how on EARTH anyone cuold tell such lies to get out of consequences for bad choices. NOT syaing she was not raped, etc.. but it IS a possiblilty (yes, I am cycnical, but been there done that way too many times). Threats of suicide should ALWAYS be taken seriously and be evaluated by a PROFESSIONAL and not an Aunty who stays up all night to do an untrained suicide watch. Please do not let this continue with your partcipatin. [/QUOTE]
