[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you're going to like, show up and nonjudgmentally tell her to pack a suitcase and leave the property? What if she says no and refuses to answer the door?

There's really no way to do this other than your DH finding his motivation. If he can't even get her to let him in the door at all, I'm skeptical this will work.[/quote]

No, we are going to talk with her about how her current living situation is unsustainable and ask her what she wants to do next. Then figure out a plan- with her- for the move. Offer to pay for help pack, or pay for movers and stay away, or whatever would make her most comfortable. I think honestly the biggest hurdle is going to be figuring out the plan for what’s next that’s affordable and meets her needs. I am probably naive. [/quote]
I am not trying to be mean but you sound very naive and immature. Do you think you can ‘ talk’ someone out of mental illness? That she is just going to snap out if it if you sound rational enough???[/quote]
