I know this is kinda personal and many of you have no idea who I'm talking about, but I've been having a hard time recently with my roommate/"niece".
She's been having a hell of a time dealing with a certain person online that's only been getting worse and worse.
I spent 90% of last night in the hospital ER with her.
We both made calls to Crisis Intervention before finally heading out at about 1AM-ish. I'm going to have 72 hours without her right now and I still, even after being reassured by my mother and a friend that I did the right thing... wonder if I did.
It was either go with me Voluntarily and sign yourself in for a minimum of 72 hours... or I was going anyway to fill out a statement, involve a psychiatrist and the police and you get taken in Involuntarily.
In otherwords. I'd have wound up 302-ing her. "Involuntary Psychiatric Admission".
There's a part of me that wishes I had done that because then they could take as long as they need to to make sure she'd be okay and could focus longer if they had to.
With a Voluntary Admission, she can ditch after three days.
I know she probably hates me. She wanted to forget the whole thing and come home. I wanted to let her, but I also had made up my mind that she was staying one way or another.
I still feel selfish... If you firmly believe you've done the right thing and the other person believes the opposite... even if it might help them in the end, is it still wrong or selfish to do it anyway...?
Those who know who I'm talking about, yes, it was who you think it was that cause her near-attempted suicide last night that broke the last straw I had.
I almost dread going to see her this afternoon/evening because I'm afraid she hates me now for not letting her get out of it. :\
....or that she thinks I tricked her into this...
Damnit all...
