[QUOTE="Denise2017, post: 756204, member: 21870"] THANK YOU Copabanana! I have spent the last month searching for every resource to help her. I found really excellent resources near where she is on Long Island. The have care management, someone who would help her fill out all the forms, get housing, get therapy, get job training, a peer support group, access to doctors, a food pantry. A garden. I had them call her and she wants nothing to do with it. She said she is fine and she does not need help, she is just having trouble finding a place to live. Here it is if it will help someone. [URL='http://mhaw.org']Association for Mental Health and Wellness[/URL] I had an engagement person from the place call her. I called the person who spoke to her, and she said my daughter did sound fine. She sounded good. My daughter told them she was not interested in their help. Yet her texts to me are nothing but name-calling and vitriol and begging to live here. My feelings are not hurt. I am way past that. But I wanted to help her. I even found 2 apartments walking distance to this center (but I was too late.) I sent many craigslist apartment listings to her and she just says she has bad credit and no one will accept her. She won't even try. I sent here roommate sites. She won't try. Maybe she is not capable... Finally after much name calling this morning I sent her the contact info for the case manager, and 3 hospitals that will take in as inpatient and she may be able to avoid a shelter. She just called me many more names and I blocked her. I am still having a very hard time separating. Especially with the coronavirus scare. However I think if I continue enabling her, she will do nothing but sit in her room as she has for the past 3 weeks. She will run out of money by this weekend I think.

I will carry this with me today "Thankfully. And as I learned to separate, my son did begin to step up and make some better choices." I sincerely hope and pray that my daughter will begin to make some better choices. There are some very good mental health services out there. There are kind, professional, helpful people—if our adult children will accept their help. Thanks again dear Copabanana and CD Community. You gave me strength to carry on today. [/QUOTE]
