She was being treated by a psychiatrist and therapist until she decided that all they wanted her to do was get a job. She stopped taking all of her medication and turned into another person entirely it seems. She hasn't been able to be properly diagnosed or treated because she knows how to turn off all the symptoms when she goes into to talk to the doctors. She also twists everything around to make it seem like she is the one being abused.
As for me, I've spoken with numerous counselors over the years to help me cope with the situation. I'm a registered nurse and I've studied psychiatric disorders quite a bit. That's how I know setting limits. It's just difficult to face the fact that I can't seem to help her at all. She won't even acknowledge that I exist now. So there isn't much I can do anymore. There never has been any talking to her anyway. I do appreciate the advice though. Hopefully, I'll get some closure for awhile.
