Hi,
It is great that you talked to the therapist.
It is normal for you to be angry at the bf's mother, but there is nothing you can do. You have no control over anything in this situation except how you respond to it.

The answer is 'No." As the therapist said, in a few weeks the medications will be out of her system.
There are lots of parents of 18 year olds in your situation. I suggest you find a support group like nami.org or go to counseling yourself.
Thanks to Civil Rights and Patient's Rights Laws passed in the 1960s, at 18 she can do whatever she wants unless she is
1. a danger to her self
or
2. danger to others.
Check with the laws of your state. Some states have a third criteria.
