Get it in writing somehow that Walmart does not want it back. If not, donate to a women's shelter or some other charity. I'm so sorry!! I'll bet you want to wring her neck!!

It's great that she's seeking therapy.. then I would say she needed to find some new friends. Good luck to you..that's a tough situation. She is not exactly seeking therapy ..she was dragged from my house in handcuffs and involuntarily committed. She had a hearing this morning and was involuntarily committed for up to 20 days.

wow, thats alot of stuff..... how old is she?? She will be 18 in two weeks. You can go two ways.... get rid of it all so when she gets back she will be shocked thats its gone Or make her bring it to goodwill Sounds like shes headed down a real bad path.... thought about not allowing here back? yes..very seriously..I don't want to just take her from a psyche ward and toss her on the street though..I am looking for a halfway house, or group home or something. She needs to take meds, etc. and she won't be able to if she is living on the streets. I work in that field.... look into pyschiatric inpatient facilities... they will keep her there and get her stable on meds then find a group home/ halfway house for her. Yes, she is inpatient right now in a psyche hospital..and they are going to assign a caseworker to help me figure out what the options are. I think coming home is not a good idea. This is her third inpatient, the second in less than a month; and she has had two partial hospitalizations as well.

When the police officer at WalMart asked me if I had any questions, I wanted to say "Would any jury convict me if I strangled her?"
