Thank you Dragonfly so much for your support. I talked to a nurse that I work with and she said she thought there was an adolescent group and outpatient tx for kids with these problems at a hospital about 30 min. away. When she worked at the hospital here in town, they referred kids there all the time. So I will contact that hospital and see what they have to offer. I also contacted a therapist that I used to work with at Catholic Social Services. If they don't take a particular insurance, they have a sliding scale. When I was in grad school, I paid $10/session and my T told me that if I didn't have that much money, to come to therapy anyway...the United Way money would cover it. I will try that route to advocate for help for my sister.
Also, S-mom just told me that someone my sis knew when she was younger...someone who is a year behind her in school...committed suicide about a week ago. I didn't learn of this till late last night. I'll have to see how my sis is doing with that. Also, have decided not to tell sis about the brother/neice thing right now. I talked with s-mom about it and she thought that might push sis right over the edge right now. I don't want to risk that.
Please keep us in your thoughts.
