[QUOTE="MissLulu, post: 755733, member: 24721"] Denise, I have no practical advice - I'm in Australia and our system is quite different here - but I just wanted to chime in to voice my support. I'm a similar situation with my adult son (24), who currently lives with me but not for much longer. (My son isn't physically violent but can be verbally abusive.) Anyway, I just wanted to let you know you are not alone. I am slowly learning to put my own needs and the needs of my husband and other children first. It's hard when you are dealing with someone who is mentally ill, however I am learning that the only person who can truly help my son is himself. It's the same for your daughter. We can lead them to services and to help, but unless they accept that there is a problem and choose to do the work (take the medications, do the therapy, whatever...) there is nothing we can do to change things. It sounds like you have good support around you, which helps. Take care, and keep posting here. I find it helps immensely. [/QUOTE]
