[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 306854, member: 84"] Janet has made an excellent point. Many of us have to use this tactic with our grown kids. It's not fun, but it's about all we have. I live in ohio....waaaaay down at the southern end. I have a daughter with the BiPolar (BP) and borderline dxes. It is [B]not [/B]easy when they're unstable.....and of course that's an understatement. How is Mom's relationship with the girl? Do they get along for the most part? When Nichole turned 18 Nichole had me down on her HIPPA list of approved persons that medical info could be shared with. Because she knew I could be objective about her state of mind and I went along on visits anyway because she'd forget to tell or ask things of the psychiatrist. But despite Nichole's gfgness.....we've always had a very good relationship. If your neice is unstable enough right now (and periodically not taking her medications to drink can most certainly do that) that Mom is worrying she might need a psychiatric hospital stay.......Well, if she's really worried, she can still call the psychiatrist and let them know what's going on. Once the psychiatrist gets this info, what he/she decides to do with it is up to him. But Mom will know she tried. Of course this could really make her daughter mad...... [B][I]It's really a good thing your neice doesn't want to mix her medications with alcohol.[/I][/B] When Nichole turned 18 I explained the HIPPA laws to her. I also explained that someone with BiPolar (BP) disorder can not always tell when they're manic or slipping over the edge as well as someone who knows them well and is on the Outside Looking In type thing. psychiatrist also helped Nichole understand her rights as a patient....while backing me up that it's a good idea to have an objective person who can provide input into her condition when it's needed. So Nichole added me to her list. It hoovers major once a difficult child turns 18. You're hands are tied unless you can get creative enough to come up with a workable solution you can get difficult child to cooperate with. But I was also lucky enough to know that psychiatrist would've taken any info I'd given her to heart even if I wasn't on that darn HIPPA list....... I know HIPPA laws are supposed to be a good thing. But personally I've only seen them be a major PITA myself.:ashamed: Welcome to the board. ((Hugs)) [/QUOTE]
