Thank you for your kind & supportive response. She has a “mental health agency “ that is supposed to be providing all of those things. I did address that at the meeting & gave her the notebook of all the documented meetings, zoom calls, service plans, agencies that I have contacted & filed formal complaints with. If I had given up on her & didn’t care for her as her illness leads her to believe she would have no services. The mental health system is a complete failure. What social services doesn’t tell you is that these services even exist. A young adult with disabilities wouldn’t be able to fend for themselves. A life on the streets is what the future holds for many of them. I’ve worked with homeless women and have witnessed first hand the atrocities these young women have experienced. I was not about to let that happen to my child. It was a full time job simply advocating for what was her rights under the law.  I wish she could know how very very much she was loved & still is. It saddens me that she feels so alone & unloved even if its not the reality. It’s the reality she lives. All I can do now is continue to hold to my boundaries & live my life. There won’t be anymore sit downs with “ so called treatment providers. “ I have been trying to remove myself from the caregiver role for sometime. Due to serious failures in the mental health system I have not been able to. She went to an assisted living placement & was violated by one of the male residents. Due to safety issues she had to return home & then Covid hit.

I feel this is a closure stage for me & maybe sometime in the future we can go for coffee.
