  My mom has been ill my entire life. My grandmother raised my siblings and I. As an adult I’ve tried to help her. She’s homeless and has been staying in an abandoned trailer with no water or power. I was going once a week to take her food, water and kerosene for the heater we got her so she doesn’t freeze. 
  We (husband and I) tried so many times to let her live with us but she would have a bad episode and I would have to call the police and I would fight to have her hospitalized. The mental hospitals would only keep her a week then back on the street she would go. I’ve gotten a lawyer the past 5 years and keep fighting for disability but we always get denied. Homeless shelters have been a joke! Either she can’t get in bc they have no room or she gets kicked out bc of the way she acts. 
  Today she was having an episode and was so depressed at her life she was talking suicide. She’s had a warrant out for her from a fight she got into. So I called them to come get her so she can be warm, safe, have food and hopefully get some help. It’s sad this is what it comes too! I always feel better when she’s in jail. Watching her be arrested and not understanding what’s going on or why every is trying to kill her breaks my heart. Mentally she is so lost. 
   I’ve tried for so long and still gotten her nowhere. Her family refuses to help. My siblings refuse to help. No one wants to deal with her. I’m thinking of having her eat herself into obesity bc then she’ll be approved for disability! I’ve been thru hell with this for years and years.This world is fucked up!
