Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Bobbie, I have purchased the book Stop Walking on Egg Shells. I read most of it. My biggest problem is that my daughter doesn't have a place to live when she is released from the hospital and I've offered to help set her up in an apartment. I'm willing to pay the first month's rent and get the utilities turn on and then she can take it from there. Well, she says that I'm just setting her up to fail! That she can't do it on her own. She wants to either live with my parents (which is not a possibility) or I guess she wants me to pay for a place for her to live. Also, she really doesn't want to live on her own or with strangers. What do I do? If I just had her living in a place and of her own, I would be able to impose limits to protect myself. Any advise?

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Can someone tell me how to get my daughter a place to live using the county services? Where do I start? Also, how do I get the court to let me handle her affairs? I did have her committed to a mental hospital after she left the hospital following a servere attempted suicide. Bridgette Janna Nale wrote: See if the state agencies can help her get a place. My daughter went through an organization recommended by the county mental health (where she gets counseling). I had to sign a paper that I could no longer have her living with me thus making her basically homeless. They found her a place with reduced rent that she could afford with her SSI check and also paid her utilities. Unfortunately, she now moved in with a boyfriend who takes care of his mother that has Alzheimers. She did this so her could get a full-time job while she takes care of the mother. Of course, it has been almost two months and he has yet to get a job. He does odd jobs for his aunts for money and gets a small allowance from his sister for taking care of the mother. I am worried that it will be too much for my daughter and cause her to go back into depression, but what can I do? She is 38 years old nearly 39 even though mentally she has never progressed beyond 12 or so. And yes, I look at other people's relationships with their daughters and wish it were possible to be like ;that with Carol. I also grieve for the sweet, happy little girl she was at about age 2 or 3. I do have another daughter and she is stable. Still, even though we have a great relationship, it is marred by the problems with C. She also has a daughter (age 19) that is married and showing some signs of what we fear is BP. Makes me sick! Janna --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!
