[QUOTE="troubled, post: 422887"] This is an update. difficult child is still in jail. She's been there since March. Her attorney called me and my sister and asked if we were willing to take her in and we both said no, absolutely not. She's aware that she's in there because we won't take her in. She is very depressed. The judge would have released her on her own recognizance if she could stay with one of us but since we refused, she is stuck in there for 90 days because they know she would disappear if they just let her out. I asked about having her evaluated and the lawyer said that could take 3-4 months before it would happen. She seems to be adjusting to her circumstances and calls my sister about once or twice a week, requests money on her account so she can eat. She's a vegetarian and won't eat anything that has meat on it or in it so she's been "starving" and getting sick off and on trying to eat the food in there. She uses money to buy ramen noodles for 77cents a day so she has something to eat that doesn't make her sick but other than that, she goes days without eating anything, or so she says. I have no idea what will happen at the end of the 90 days. They are aware that she is homeless, jobless, penniless and really has no defense against whatever crimes someone who doesn't like her might pin on her, whether she did it or not. She requests that my sister send her postcards of her idols, like Hanna Montana and I Carly, etc. She is still so immature and childish in a lot of ways but the sad part is, because she is an adult over 18, we can't control her. Sometimes, I cry myself to sleep and I would bet that she does, too. [/QUOTE]
