Angela's Story

Well this story could go on and on if I started from the begining so I won't.

I just picked up my mom today who is nearly 70 from a PA prison. Seven months ago she was arrested for assalting a police officer while they were trying to take her from a burning house. She may have beem drinking I don't know I wasn't there. So she was them arrested and brought to a forensics unit of a mental institution. We meaning my sisters and I thought they would be able to treat her for depression. My mother never remembered the fire the assalt anything. She is now with me in NYC refusing to contiue to take her medication. She says she doesn't need it. Now I remember how misreable she was living with my father and think that had alot to do with her depression,but still I think she needs help. I was able to bring her to my house by bus and a couple of subway rides without incident. I have to admit I am scared she will relapse and become angry and violent like before. She had no where else to go and we have very little money. So now my husband is upset at this entire situation so I'm getting no support from him.My Mother is traumatised by the past seven months of hell she went through and I'm writing this at 4:00 AM because I can't sleep and I have to tell my job I need alot of time of to figure all of this out. Well that's the long and short of it any advice would be appreciated even website I found a few like this one but any more would be appriciated. Thanks Angela
