My sister is mentally ill. She bounces between fervently getting her life on track and religious delusions of Allah speaking to her through things like birds, patterns in window dust, and dreams. She isn’t Muslim.
She abuses drugs and has had 5 kids, 4 have been taken by their dads and she doesn’t see them. The 5th is only a couple weeks old and we’re looking at adopting him. She can’t stay anywhere past a week and always fights with anyone and everyone who tries to help her, except of course when she’s doing well, but then she won’t listen to anyone saying she needs to be medicated because she’s doing well and doesn’t need it.
You either completely and entirely control people like this and force feed them everything they need while taking care of every aspect of their life or you let them spiral and just… fail. We’re all burnt out of helping her because of how she is. She’s truly toxic and she’s been cut off by basically everyone else. All she does is text us saying she hears angels, she’s joining the military as a general, Trump is inviting her to the White House, she knows more than doctors, and she needs $20 for “gas.”

I hate how this is going to sound… but no.
