[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 528459"] PG - I agree with others that there probably is nothing you can do at this point. These are her choices and her life... but you are clearly very scared that she is headed towards dying. I so get that as I am close to a similar place. So I will say this about the courts or at least some of them. The clerks who answer the phone often really don't want to bother with you and so will give you the quickest easiest answer possible. Like I said I don't know about your state and the laws there but I do know something about the situation here. Here you could go to court and meet with the court doctor yourself, let them know your serious concerns about her drug use. They would then put out a warrent of apprehension to pick her up wherever she is and when they found her they would bring her to the court to meet with the doctor. After meeting with her the doctor could make a recommendation to the judge whether it is worth sending her to some kind of rehab against her will. Now that is a fairly high standard to meet but given what you have said, and the fact that her drug of choice is meth, I think she might meet that standard... and it might be worth a shot. A lot will depend on the doctor.... but given where you are at with this it might help if you feel you have given it one last try. And then it will be time to let go and hope that somehow she finds her way. My heart is with you right now. TL [/QUOTE]
