> Well howdy all, seems I'm finished with my two-week block. I think that things will be OK now, thanks to the absence of certain antagonists (no one in particular, so if you think I'm refering to YOU, I'm not). I have an open question to post for feedback: have any of you had experience with having to have someone in your family declared "mentally unfit" to be in the house? I mean, does it take a judge or some social service to make such a determination? How does the process go about? I know (believe me, I KNOW) that this is a difficult subject to respond to, but if anyone has some first-hand experience of this sort of thing, I would appreciate hearing about it.

> PAXin my state you have to have a hearing before a judge.......it's pretty traumatic. it's all very legal and formal. it was done in my ex's family and i remember it being very sad and complicated.
consult a lawyer and they will tell you exactly what you have to do. or...if you have a mental health council, call them. even a judge's office will tell you.......just be prepared for something that is not comfortable. pat
