[quote=Anonymous]Continually invest in the niece. You are kind to pay for college. Offer her a stable home when she’s in college during breaks. Once she’s 18 you can be more active. You sound like a very good person, OP.

And as niece and her mom get older, do what you can to shield niece. As she launches into adulthood, she doesn’t need her mother dragging her down. She won’t see it this way as kids always love their mothers. But help niece.

Agree that talking to an attorney about a special needs trust would be helpful. But the worst part about mental illness is that if someone doesn’t want to get help, you can’t force them. Temporary orders only last for a few days and they are only granted in extreme circumstances. There basically has to be a likelihood of near-immediate physical harm to the mentally I’ll person or to others. And now just verbal threats. It is a high bar. And our country is awful at taking care of our sick citizens.
