what is really frustrating is we went through a very hard process of getting her committed several months ago, but it didn't go through. we had to go to court and petition for this. they decided to commit her for 90 days to the state mental hospital. she had to stay in a behavioral health center for a couple weeks until a bed opened up in the state hospital. during that couple weeks, i guess she convinced everyone that she was better, and they LET HER GO HOME!! she was able to go back to work, but she had to report to the judge every week or two and if she screwed up once during the 90 days she would be committed. however, she didn't screw up, until after the 90 days was up.

i will look into seeing if we can get her committed. thank you!!
