Hun, my thought was never to "manage" Suzie. Speaking to family members is ONLY information gathering. I know that things were rough for her when I lived next door and they got worse after we moved. Her partner sure wasn't any help as far as piling the work on her, but I know he loved her.

Seaking with her certainly is the most important part, but because she seems to be so easily confused by my statements and questions, I thought it was a good idea to get some information and perspectives from her other family members.

I'm still thinking about the situation so I haven't made up my mind how I'm going to proceed. Any and all input is more than welcome, so THANKS!
