Personally I think she needs to see a doctor to determine if therapy would be beneficial for her. Since we don't know the extent of her mental capacity, it would be a good idea to have her tested by a therapist to see if therapy would even work. Putting her out on her own right now would be the wrong move right now -- at least that's MY opinion. I think she should be tested first to see what her abilities are, and what her actual mental problems are. To put her out into housing might throw her into a real "attack" of whatever mental problem she has and cause more problems than you have right now.
I hope you can find an answer to her problems. I wish you the very best. God bless and prayers to you, to Liza and your whole family. God bless. Hugs, Lee

I'm sorry; the beginning of my post did not come through and you were only able to start at the middle. Liza is a friend that I'd met through a domestic abuse online forum 6 years ago. We'd talked online and on the phone, but never in person until a month ago, when she'd come to TX for a live in nanny position that didn't work out. She came to stay with us at that time, because she had no where else to go. (She'd spent the past 2 years in domestic abuse shelters after leaving her ex of 15 years). She has no friends but us, and knows no one here. She is creating a hardship on us, both financially and emotionally, but we can't just throw her out in the cold. We just don't know what to do.
