[QUOTE="Denise2017, post: 755731, member: 21870"] Thank you dear Blindsided for your kind and supportive reply. I especially appreciate the reading list here in your bio. Thank you so much for comment about keeping boundaries. I think that is my life lesson. Like you, I can not make it through a conversation with my daughter without great anxiety. When I see her name on the phone, my stomach goes into a knot. I never know who I will get on the other end of the line. Or, if the "nice" daughter is there, at what moment will she spin into the violent, manipulative daughter? It's been a long, long day and it's only 3:30 in the afternoon. This started at 5:30 am. No resolution yet. Working as a family we directed her to Planned Parenthood. I believe she went but evidently now she is an NJ resident, not a NY resident (previous boyfriend, I don't have any idea how she got NJ status) so NY will not help her. The current boyfriend/father seems to "afraid" to drive her to NJ Planned Parenthood since she beat him up this week. I understand that this is a controversial thread because it involves a mentally ill pregnant person. We found out today that this would be her third abortion. And she told me this week that she thought she was infertile. So that gives some idea of what we are dealing with here. She has never held a job for more than a month or so, and can not live with anyone. Recently we put here in a situation where she had a private space but had to share a bathroom. That didn't even last one night. So she is completely unable to take care of herself, no less another human. I have had the dog she abandoned for 11 years. (I truly love hm and consider him a gift.) At 69, and in a declining financial position, I am not able to care for her or children that she might bring. There are no other family members who can care for her either, and not surprisingly she has alienated (hit, cursed, frightened) just about everyone. I dialed 211 and then then texted the NAMI crisis line which I found in a post here on the site. They were very helpful and sent some resources. I am able to call then again if needed.
