Since my last post things deteriorated for my daughter during the course of 7days.
She contacted me begging for help and was prepared for me to come to her house on my conditions.
I stayed for 2 1/2days then returned home for 2 days as l had a couple of appointments then came back .
I am staying 3days then will return home again for 2days , l need the space but have more appointments lneed to attend.
When l first arrived she was in bed and so l just let her sleep....l attended to my
grand daughter ....cleaned up (again) and bought groceries and organised dinner.
Took my granddaughter to school the next day and proceded to discuss with my daughter getting treatment and how that might look. She is in agreement and we found a service taking new clients (which is really difficult) We needed to obtain a referral from GP and got an appointment the next day which went well. She also had some blood tests undertaken to check several health issues.
Her iron levels are always on the low side
Which is what they were..... she needs to take some medication and have another test done. In the meantime her 1st Psychologist appointment is 3rd September so not too long to wait! Which l am very grateful for! Many places l contacted weren't reopening their books for 6mths!She seems 'happy ' about it too.
We attended to a few chores, yesterday that she has left unattended for awhile which was good. She has had several 'flare ups' and displays irractic, irrational behaviour.
I'm afraid that l still don't trust her and have called her behaviour out a couple of times.
She has been resorting to isolating herself to her bedroom which from my perspective is a much better idea than her verbally abusing me! This was a condition of my returning to support her : l will return home if she is disrespectful and is verbally abusive to me.
She did manage to get her daughter to school the two days l went home ...which was positive.
My daughter is an expert manipulator so l am on my toes a bit watching and assessing her behaviour.
She did disclose that she did use illegal substances...again which explains why her behaviour altered ...l get anxious about this situation. She claims she won't do it again!
This is an exhausting life to live!
Provided she adheres to the conditions l put on my physical support, l will continue for a while to be here and be present.
In the longer term its not sustainable and I need to return to my home. I can not live with her nor do l want to.
Really attempting to live one day at a time for now! Today is a new day!
