i'm very sorry for your situation ivy.. many blessings to you sugar

unfortunately, unless you get a power of attourney signed over to you somehow, there aren't any rights for you as the parent. i feel bad saying that but it's the way it is. Once a person is a legal adult, unless they are declared legally incompetent (a court proceding) then the parents or even spouses have no rights or say. WHen my ex husband was in a psych unit for attempting, they wouldn't even confirm he was in there and we were married at the time.

Try checking with your local NAMI chapter - they can direct you to resources
