[QUOTE="Fran, post: 318909, member: 3"] Mrs. McNear, my first question is: does she want help? Will she let others counsel her and do what is suggested? If she needs a candle in the darkness to help her find her way out, then I would help her with finding the appropriate doctor, therapist and lifestyle that would help her get unstuck. If she is, however, sabotaging her life because she has guilt for abandoning her son or is unwilling to change there is little you can do. If she would be willing to be seen, evaluated and medicated(if needed) she can start to use that as a tool to dig herself out. Small baby steps forward. As for you, remember that our kids are battling a life long disorder that requires slip ups and then bursts forward. I try to remember that our truth, is that it is is never as wonderful as it seems and it is never as bleak as it seems. Our kids ride a rollercoaster of success and failures. Our job is to help them learn how to get through the bad times and to get up and keep fighting. Perserverance is a wonderful thing. We all know you have it. Now sweet Betsy needs to get up and keep her eye on her goal and not give up. Hang in there Mrs. McNear. If Betsy seems to be in danger of harming herself- call the police to transport to the hospital. [/QUOTE]
