[Deborahc56]

She has a therapist that is working to get her into an inpatient place for a few months to get her on the right meds. Should I do more than that? I don't know what else to do. She is on probation due to a car accident. She was drunk driving. She drinks while on her prozac and xanix. She consistently self sabotage's and she has admitted it.

If I were in your shoes, I'd try to find a local group for caregivers and family support. They would have resources to help you. I'd do it right now.

There are lists of support groups online. In person ones I mean, not just the internet.


This appears to be an urgent situation and I'd be asking for help from a social worker or her case worker. Ask her therapist for help. I'd do that right now too.

btw if her father has bipolar disorder and is spending his life in and out of hospital I would think that he is not being correctly treated either.

sorry your family are dealing with all these worries.
It would be very stressful indeed.
