She’s mentally ill, and 22. I can’t force her into treatment. Her dad is opposed to treatment due to insanely strict religious beliefs. I feel to powerless and it’s killing me. I hung out with her today. It’s a bad day for her today. A really bad day. Ugh! I just wish there was a way for her to be happy again

She needed physical healthcare from infancy on and even when she was extremely ill he was saying he was against meds and surgeries. I still took care of her and gave her meds etc but it was awful. It’s just so frustrating

Do you think she might have sz, @LilyoftheValley ?

Maybe you could arrange for her to get med’s in your home. Surely your husband would not object to that.

I am sorry this has happened
You come from a position of strength of knowledge about these things
Hopefully your insight can help your daughter make a good recovery - without so many of the mistakes we all have to learn from
You’re both in my thoughts

So far, she’s super private but doesn’t seem to be paranoid or otherwise delusional. But that doesn’t mean anything. I wasn’t diagnosed until my 30s. But she doesn’t appear to have it yet. I’m paying close attention though.

My husband isn’t the problem. It’s her dad that’s the problem. She switches off about every 6 months who she lives with. So for now. It’s her dad. She refuses to take meds unfortunately so even if I took her to a dr and got meds for her, she wouldn’t take them.
Thanks @Joker . I hang out with her a lot and so far I don’t think she has sz. But her anxiety and PTSD is completely out of control. Without pestering her about it, I plan to continue trying to get her back into treatment.
