[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 392480, member: 3419"] Welcome to The System. Seriously. This is SO typical. Marg's right. Saying you're unfit is a fast, cheap way to obtain svcs. So scary and sad. I agree with-the others ... get as much as you can in writing so you can show their culpability in the future, if necessary. In the meantime, it sounds as though you've been painted into a corner. Your daughter won't take medications regularly? Even with-a bribe? You've gotten some great ideas here. All I can do is offer support. Best of luck. Let us know what happens when she gets home. One thing ... I'm sure you have a plan in place when she gets home. Don't just walk in the door and begin to panic. Tell your daughter b4 you leave the hospital that you are so happy she is being released and you are hoping you can work together to follow the new rules so that she can obtain new freedoms, or however you want to phrase it. It's always hard to toe the line between being too sympathethic and enabling, and appearing controlling. But you can't just walk into the house with-o a conversation, Know what I mean?? Stay in touch. [/QUOTE]
