[QUOTE="Denise2017, post: 756119, member: 21870"] Thank you dear Busy. I am at the point where I just need to take my own mental health breaks from her, to restore myself. I have sent her many, many, many resources but she rejects them all. She just wants to live at my house and have me take care of her, which I can not do, due to her past violence, abuse and threats. There are really some great services out there, mental health professionals, and excellent resources. I have searched and searched to find her a soft landing, and there are some options, especially given a some support from her father and I. But she rejects them all. It would be a bit of a journey, but in the end, I think she could have subsidized housing, a care coordinator, therapy, independent living. In our state, this is all the through government and Dept of Social Services, unless you are very wealthy and can afford those private recovery centers. I have kept a spreadsheet and send links to help for her, but the reply is always vitriol. She often waits to elevate the crisis until Friday afternoon, just when all the services are closing for the weekend. Her latest is that I am abusive for not taking her in...(plus a lot of language that I will not post here..) Honestly, from this wonderful site, I have learned here to maintain my boundaries I could not survive otherwise. I really do have to put my own oxygen mask on first. This has been going on for ±15 years with no positive progress. Thank heaven for this kind community, and thanks again for your supportive reply. [/QUOTE]
