hi guys. thanks for the feedback. as i said, we couldn't get thru the magistrate. as far as mobile crisis teams, we have looked into that. my sister absolutely will NOT see anyone about her issues as she doesnt think she has any. we've given her countless resources to pdocs and therapists. she always says thanks, ill call them, but she never does. my sister has always been irritable at a baseline. now it is extremely apparent. she is emotionally and verbally abusive to my mom which breaks my heart. as far as SSI/SSDI- i highly doubt she would agree to that either. it might be worth a shot, though. the issue with that is that she has not earned enough income to warrant getting disability under her own social security number. I have SSDI under my father's social security number (survivor's benefits) because he died when i was 10, my sister was 11. if she drew SSDI under his number we would both get like 350 dollars a month because they limit what they give out under 1 persons SS number.

anyway, we are still trying to think of options. my mom said she was going to try to talk to her yesterday about everything, but when i asked her later how things are going she just said things have been good.

a big fear of mine is that my sister might hurt or try to hurt my mom. i want to say no, she would never do that. but you just never know when someone is being so unpredictable and not like themselves. i text my mom every day just to make sure she is ok. when she doesnt respond right away i freak out and get really scared.

i want to thank you all for responding to my thread and giving me support and advice. it is greatly appreciated
