[QUOTE="AHF, post: 454111, member: 11180"] Oh, believe me, I know all the pitfalls that come with compulsive poker. And it may not be possible for Peter Pan to heal himself if he does not address that dysfunction. Just got off the phone with him and his care team. They twisted my arm into paying through Monday, with the constant threat of making a poor decision about discharge if the process is rushed. Easy for everyone else, including Peter Pan, to say, when they're not the ones paying! They will not keep him without payment up front; they do not believe he is "commitable"; but they still define him as "at risk," putting all the burden on me to decide if he stays or goes, lives or dies. And this is probably the best place in the country! If no plan by Monday, he will have to be discharged to the street, 1000 miles from home and penniless. He is too abusive to be allowed back home, and I cannot give money to a gambling addict. [/QUOTE]
