please can someone give me some kind of direction as I am very concerned with the welfare of a pregnant bi polar adult. My boyfriends daughter is in her late 30s and was diagnosed with bi polar disorder many years back and was receiving the proper medication. She got pregnant close to 5 months ago and emmediatly stopped going in to get her shot. She was living with us but moved to redding to live with her boyfriend and his family. She recently called and wanted us to pick her up and bring her home. We brought her home and she doesn't look as if she has been caring for herself and appears to have been abused. She is around five months pregnant and has lost a significant amount of weight and has several bruises all about her body. She says that she has been making her checkup appointments for the baby and that the bruises are just from wresting. I have been made aware of the fact that he has been physically abusing her. She sugarcoats what is happening and now is talking about going back to live in redding with him again. He has made threats to her about harming her family and threats of coming to the hospital after she has the baby and taking it from her. She says shes lonely and so I think her plan are to go back with him. She is an adult but there must be something we can do as it is obvious she isn't making good desitions on her own.
