[QUOTE="ANewLife4Me, post: 765408, member: 32799"] You are absolutely right and thank you for your concern. 🤗 My husband works with mentally ill here in Florida and responds to those in crisis. Frustrated at the lack of resources that even he can provide are basically what you have mentioned your niece going through. As we know this is a bandaide to cover up until the next crisis begins. Unfortunately for us, we put 10 years into trying to help our daughter with anything and everything. She can hold a job, takes care of herself, pays her own bills….she is fully functional. We have no idea when she will get out of jail this time but, have chosen to let her live her life on her own at this time. She is verbally abusive to her Dad and I, has attacked me, the voices in her head have told her to kill us. She won’t accept medication or therapy even though they really helped the few weeks she allowed it or court ordered. It’s very difficult making this decision but we fear for our safety. In this regard there should be something to help her! I wrote her lawyer with no response, we don’t have shelters here as we live in a small town. Begged the lawyer to let her serve probation in a big city. Am very afraid of the potential violence she will try when she gets out of jail as we live within walking distance of. We are her only form of help, everyone gave up long before we did. We just don’t know what else to do? It sounds as if your niece is in a good place at this time and I hope and pray you will one day get back to those hikes and attend meetings together. At some point they have to want to change, it’s so difficult I understand. Baby steps as I call it, making progress on a better future. 😊 [/QUOTE]
