That's what seems to confuse me. When she attempted suicide, the only thing I was able to override was her ability to refuse admittance into a psych hospital. I couldn't do anything to keep her there longer than she was (about 6 days).
Even then the police "helped" me out by taking her to an ER outside the district where a social service program was that could get her into the state psych hospital. She had been taken to a local hosp before, but they discharged her within an hour after seeing that she attempted to slit her wrists. She told me it was because she had no insurance. They discharged her on her own accord. It was just a mess.
So...maybe the third time will be a charm?
