[QUOTE="Looking For Hope, post: 763079, member: 20495"] I was so relieved to find this forum. My daughter is 46 years old and has been homeless for 10 years. She says "nothing is wrong with her". We give her about $300 per month but nothing else. I grieve for her because her body is starting to suffer from lack of sleep and a proper diet. She refuses to get any kind of mental health treatment. Her step dad and I don't want her living with us. She can be very verbally abusive. I have tremendous guilt over this. My friend recently hired an expensive lawyer and interventionist to get her daughter into a 5150 hold with the goal of Conservatorship, but we cannot afford to do this. Plus I don't think my daughter fits the definition of "gravely disabled" in California because she manages to obtain food and clothing. She just prefers to be on her own, it seems. It breaks my heart. I just want to know how other parents deal with the pain of this. We let her visit once a month and stay one night with us. She refuses to get a cell phone because the get stolen or broken and she says they "charge her too much for the service". She calls me from stores that tolerate her. How do other parents cope with this behavior? [/QUOTE]
