[QUOTE="aunty, post: 597256, member: 16422"] I am sorry. I meant to add her age and realised after posting. She is 21 but acting 13. So many people including her parents say " well she's 21 what can you do ? " but since she acts 13 and hasnt a care in the world about what happens to her I have decided to treat her like 13 with appropriate restrictions. this may come back to bite me in the backside but time will tell. You can be stuck between a rock and a hard place treading that fine line between exploding trying to get through to her or reasoning. Reasoning we have found works for only 5-10 mins after you have spoken with her and she will only hear what she wants to. Its obvious after yesterdays blow up that she doesnt feel sorry about anything she puts us through, and all of it is aimed at making us so pi$$ed off that she gets sent home to be with her "friends" every one of whom is into drugs and booze in order to relate to each other. Again she cant be sent home and the only time I will give up is when I either have no more to give or it affects my health and well being in a bigger way. YES she could well have caught that STD in another way and it was picked up in the tests for the rape, and if so I have no sympathy for the rapists as they will have it now. It wasnt an internet dating service she got onto....but a meeting place for "friends" locally. She seems so desperate for "friends" and too willing to accept just anyone and put them into the "friend" category. On the other hand she says she cant make new friends unless she is drunk....so..... As far as what other mental health issues run in the family....we can only go by her mother who does have mental health issues.....depression for both mother and daughter. Recently the mother was trying to get my niece to commit suicide with her....the mother made one attempt to run the car off the road with both of them in it. The mother also has a cache of pills of my dead fathers that she was researching to use in this planned double suicide mother and daughter thing she was trying to do before all this happened and we inherited my niece. My brothers genetics dont come into my niece's situation as she was a child by donor due to fertility issues....so whoever the sperm donor was we dont know...it was done through fertility clinic in the appropriate ways.....so anything could be a part of her genetic make up. My sister in law has also the whole time I have known her been heavily dependant on drugs and doctors. The two children were raised in pills and medication for everything and from a young age would climb a chair and medicate themselves from the medicine cabinet. My brother is a drinker and my niece has followed his lead and example. Her dad has been a drinking buddy. My niece thinks she is ugly and no amount of telling her different will make her see it any other way. She is not ugly, but as a drunk I couldnt say the same. [/QUOTE]
