Littlepaw,

I am glad your sister is receptive to housing and glad you have been able to help her with housing.

My friend says she wants to be homeless.

It's tough to realize we may have to let go... and hope for the best.

I feel I have no way to help, in that my friend seems to be moving around and isn't interested in housing or a stable address at this time. It's difficult to get services for someone who does not want help/services. Our conversations seem pointless, as she has been delusional for quite some time. I cannot gain any cooperation from her, as far as securing any assistance for her. I suppose she feels a connection if she is calling, even if she is delusional. Yet, I have had to shut my phone off, as she kept calling in the middle of the night and was awakening people in the household. She has not been able to respond to boundary setting on calls in the middle of the night. Knowing the severity of her mental illness right now has made it very difficult to shut off my phone. Yet, we all need some sleep.

I, too, feel my biggest responsibility is to my household. I also need to be careful and be sure I am doing all I can in order to heal.

It's all very painful and nobody else can tell us if/when we need to let go.
It's a very individualized decision.

May you both feel surrounded by, uplifted by, Pure Love.
