[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Thank you all for your helpful replies.

Honestly I don't think she is 100% mentally capable. This is a gray area - yes, her choices are hers, but[b] she has many symptoms that fit ADHD[/b], and it is also quite likely that she is depressed.

The divorce was her idea and I think she expected something much rosier. She might be having an especially hard time, since my dad's life is going ok and he got together with a wonderful lady. She seems frustrated and is making one bad decision after another.

There is a chance I may be able to work with my brother in getting something set up. We need to be able to protect what she has left and maybe get her set up somewhere. But that would require openness on her part, but she's fearful of being judged.

Or is this probably a lost cause?[/quote]

I put a part of your post in bold...that is what I am addressing. There are some with ADHD that have bi-polar II tendencies. But unfortunately you can't help them. In almost the same way that an addict/alcoholic has to hit bottom sometimes they do to. Unfortunately, I did.[/quote]
