[QUOTE="Denise2017, post: 755872, member: 21870"] Thank you dear Copabanana, Nomad, JMom, BusynMember for your kind and thoughtful replies. My apologies for being MIA. We have spent every waking hour over the past two weeks texting, calling services, researching and more researching and reading the detachment article and going to the therapist. We have called NAMI, crisis lines and found something very good that NY State has called Health Homes, which are not homes, but coordinated care programs for the mentally ill, or physically ill. Maybe this will help someone. They have this in NJ too...maybe other states as well. [URL="http://www.cbcare.org"]CBC – Coordinated Behavioral Care[/URL] The pregnancy is gone. It was sad and traumatic for everyone. But as you say above, she can not care for herself no less a child. The saga continues as she is still living in the Inn, on our money, and we don't have much more to give her. Someone said she is a the most entitled homeless person they have ever encountered. She does not seem to accept that she needs therapy and help that we can not give her. And because she is almost 33, she must sign up for any program herself. We can not do that for her. She keeps asking to live with me but I am holding my ground. After she threatened to move in until I evicted her...that was the end of my open door. We are hoping to avoid her going to a shelter, but she needs to help. Get a job. Find an apartment which we will finance for a month or two...there is a clean YMCA where she can live, in a nice, local city, but she thinks its too dangerous... Very hard. Very exhausting. Thank you all so much for your care, energy, love and support. I will send an update. Denise [/QUOTE]
