I have no money for an attorney and my dauaghter is in more trouble than in her entire life. I have nowhere to turn and I need to know what it is I am looking at insofar as the realities pertain to her and the law. I gather this is not the most appropriate forum, but it is a shot in the dark. She is 24 yo, has a 5 yo daughter. Let's call her Bess. She has been bi-polar for as long as I can remember with other personality disorders. I also suspect something akin to sociopathy. She also seems to have difficulty in discerning reality from fantasy. She is very intelligent, only in that extreme self-destructive way. She has been on medications to regulate the stranger of her behaviors, but unbeknownst to the family she went off them 3 months ago. I was beginning to suspect when her tolerance levels began to dive and she became irrational in her thinking. I tried to approach her several times but have been met with resistance. Tonight she was fired from her job with Wal-Mart for tipping the till. This is not a first occurance. Usually we have been able to catch it in time and make restitution. This is ruining her life. I am now faced with legal ramifications I am ill-prepared to deal with. If she is actually charged and convicted I have no idea to what extent of the law applies in respect to the length of incarceration, parole, etc. What would happen to her 5 year old daughter, my granddaughter? She, blessedly enough, has no prior charges or convictions. Can you give me your knowledge of what, perhaps, I could expect to happen, and if there is anything I can do to help her? I am taking her to the mental health clinic in the morning and try to talk to her technician with the state for any further resources she may have for dealing with this sort of thing. I have fought keeping her in the mainstream for years although she exhibits some socially unacceptabel, and even criminal behaviors such as petty theft. . Any support, pointers, ideas, what I can expect to be up against, would be a blessing right now. Please consider this as a major mitzvah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
