We are now on a waiting list for hospital admission. Darlings choice.
Initially thought/ hoped it could be this week but will be some time next week now before a bed is available.
Day by day until then.
Things are less volatile but there is a level of despair I have not seen or sensed in a while 🥺

I hope your Darling gets some support soon, and you get some respite soon @Determined . It can be very challenging to take on all the load yourself.
It's good to read of the boundaries you have in place.

Ow...
Not completely surprised, but definitely ow. 😟
If she was willing to do a hospital stay, is she willing to talk through other possible safety and support ideas? You were saying that she doesn't like having someone "babysitting" her, but if there's not another option?

Have found another option @Smc
Much smaller country hospital.
Darling has an appointment on Monday to discuss.

During the gaps where Darling is alone we are keeping communication open. Which seems to be working. Holding steady at the moment but it would not take much to change that 🤕

Hospital admission for Darling at the end of this week. Preferred hospital also which is good. Have suitable support in place until then.
