i think if she doesn't get help here she will reach out profesionally...and i am sorry if that reminds you of your ex.

I divorced my husband because of that very principle, among other reasons. Unfortunately, he still hasn't hit rock bottom in the way that you hope will force someone to seek proper help.

> I truly don't know why Sandy won't get the kind of help we all think she needs and that puzzles and disturbs me greatly. We email off of Babble. I don't know her "diagnosis"; I don't know the other circumstances of her situation. But I do know that, whether she is "acting out" to get attention or truly as bad as she sounds, she is legitimately hurting and in a very bad place in her life. Support, encouragement & "email friendship" are what we offer to her. Could this really be impeding her from picking up the phone for help or admitting herself into a psych hospital?
