Hi ethel!:hello:
I'll start with the stupid question and ask how you are?:o
I'm glad you posted and shared with us hun.:T :A
quote=EthelBloggs;evening everyone :wave:
...Soooooo we had the professionals meeting today.. 2 hours of various NHS and social services departments arguing about what they can't afford n blah blah.. upshot is that because both me and my mum have now refused to have her at home and the thing that's in place (forgot the name) but basically it's the kind of on demand help she needs is only available for over 18s, no supported accomodation unit is willing to risk taking her and so they are thinking about either designing a care package tailored specifically for her (uber expensive) orrrrrrr......... sending her to a place in Buckinghamshire, where she's been before. It's a mental health equivalent of an intensive care unit but they also have therapy programs etc and if she won't go willingly they will section her to go :eek:
Yes ethel hun, the first thing they talk about is what they can afford - it's only someone's life after all!:o
Whether it's mental or physical ill health, surely a life can't be assessed and priced? Well we all know it happens, but it's so wrong: imho, a human life is priceless. Ok, rant over!;)
Well done you and ethel's mum for remaining resolute in not having DD home!:T I know how hard that was for you angel, but this help is way overdue. How many times have there been mad dashes for A&E? How many times have you all, including DD, asked for help?!
There's no doubt that you all love DD and it sounds as though she'll hopefully get the acute care she needs now.
These are always scary steps to take ethel, but they're the best ones for DD and that's what counts.
Soo... really a mixture of emotions, on the one hand I feel a bit like cruella refusing to have her and guilty that I feel slightly relieved that it's being taken out of my hands and on the other hand I'm pleased to know that she is finally going to receive the care and treatment she needs.
Hope you're all fine xxxxxxxx/quote
By refusing to take her back angel, you've probably done the kindest thing you could do for her. The same with your mum hun - no disrespect,:o but she's getting too old now to have to deal with this. It's been a long hard road angel & you've all been through such rough times as a family with all this.
You know in your heart that you love her dearly and that she needs help. By doing what you did yesterday, you've probably saved her life angel.:A
This isn't about you leaving her, it's about a very poorly young woman getting the support and care she needs at last. You're a great mum angel because you're doing what's best for your DD and also protecting the rest of the family.
You don't need me to tell you that you did the right thing ethel - you know that already. Here's hoping that this will be the start of an upward climb.;)
I know you'll email me when you can hun, don't worry.;) Concentrate on you and the family now angel - you'll probably run through every emotion there is, so you need to be kind to yourself. Thinking of you ethel hun.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

MORNING!:D
First of all, the damp weather forecast is suspended until further notice; I decided to examine the lawn rather too closely yesterday:rotfl: :rotfl: Basically I'm a clutz, & can twist my ankle whilst barefoot, so add trainers & uneven ground & I'm baloogared!
Second, I would like to thank ILGD, who described my unmentionables as smalls...May Ali Heap a Thousand Blessings Upon You.....you :A ! Sorry to hear about p-u-p they are a worry arn't they? But he does have a wonderful mum to help him:o
A comment made by Feely reminded me of a bit I saw, I think in a TV show, where Beryl Reid proudly waved a certificate above her head. The character had been released from an old style mental institution after about 20 years, & some bloke ticked her off, so she took this piece of paper from her handbag & asked if the guy could also prove his sanity! Got me to thinking she had a point....
But I wouldn't read too much into the intial appointment....down here it's routine to see the shrink first:eek: SORRY....our local one has such an awful reputation--even the CMHT are disparaging about the quack, cuz the favoured 'treatment' is to eat more bananas & walk for a hour first thing in the morning before breakfast:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: How do these people qualify:huh:
Tiff...my rant of a couple of days back, was over "helpful" comments made by some twerps on these threads, primarily about the ease of losing weight. It beggars belief just how much some people pontificate with such conviction:mad: but I'm not letting it get to me again. I'll just remember that not everyone has two brain cells to rub together to form a spark of intelligence:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: nut loike weee duz innit!
Hokey Dokey....back to the daily grind.....can you tell how enthused I am at the prospect:rotfl:

Will I ever feel normal again?
Am I destined to just float through life feeling empty and lost?
Will I ever feel anything but pain and sadness again?
I feel as if I am totally losing my mind. Most days I can't even remember if I have fed the dogs! What kind of person am I?Dream of being mortgage free....

Hello everyone
Dawnylou I am not very good with the advice but until someone better comes along I send you big hugs. ((((hugs))))
Well I am sorry to build everyones hopes up yesterday about an Indian summer this week guess that was wrong lol.
I am having a bit of a lazy day today only doing some washing and sticking it in the dryer. Got work later so gonna have a chill.
My DS is having his morning nap now so just thought I would catch up on the threads and off to relax in the bath for half an hour now till he wakes.
Hope everyone is ok and not having too much of a bad day.
Hugs to all (((hugs)))
