Really need opinions....

I have thought about making her a list everyday.

Caseysmom....this, in just my opinion, would be just one more thing you would do that she would ignore.

I think you ought to get the uncle much more involved.

She is not going to change, the way things are right now.

She has no friends at church?

Hon, you have done so much and it is admirable...but I am wondering about her getting assessed for something. It seems she has problems that are beyond a do-it-yourself situation.

I hope you get someone else involved...

hugs!

I don't have any advice but I just wanted to give you my support in this. I know it has been hard on you.

Unfortunately I can not offer much advice on motivating your niece because I have never had this experience. I can address your questions about being a pharmacy tech (I was a pharmacist for many years).

I assure you that she will have VERY limited access to any patients in a psych hospital or prison. She will not be put in direct danger, but she needs to use some common sense when working in those types of facilities.

If she does not want to work in that environment look into your local hospitals, they also hire pharmacy techs and pay well. The difference is that there is shift work involved in working in a hospital and likely there is no shift work in the other institutions.
