[quote=Anonymous]For some reason I recall she isn't in this country, right? How is mental health care where she is? Could your dad get her to go to inpatient? She needs hospitalization to get the meds figured out and if you can afford-Assisted living so your dad can have a life and she can remain properly medicated. It will be better for her because everyone can visit and be relaxed and happy to see her, not engulfed with her illness. I had to detach from my mother's mental illness for my own health. She kept choosing to go off meds and I had to refuse to allow the constant calls of anxiety and in her care the tirades and rage fits. Even on meds, she needs changes now and then and I know because I am the first person she lashes out at. We have a service monitoring her so I simply call them and they send someone to talk with her and evaluate. She hates me for it, but it is a must.[/quote]
