It's been said before, but what do you want them to do? She's an adult, and not fucked up enough to be commited. They could kick her out, but that wouldn't help her since its a mental issue, not drug abuse. They could not give her money but then she gives herself sketchy stick and poke tattoos instead of getting safer better looking professional ones. Its a shitty situation all around.
Idk what Pennsylvania law is regarding mentally ill adult family members, but what I do know is that Abby NEEDS structure and stability in her life. She needs someone to watch her, like an at-home caretaker some special needs kids have. I’ve said it a million times before, but Abby can take all the meds and see all the doctors, and neither of those will do shit as long as she lives with her parents.
Kathy and Bill have money. If they can’t force Abby into a treatment program they should consider placing her in a group home or hiring a couple caretakers who can keep an eye on her 24/7.
