Well we have finally cut my sister loose! After spending a horrific week coping with what i think is alcohol psychosis we finally gained her agreement to her going to a detox centre (she has an NHS funded rehab place in 2 weeks). We paid the £1500 deposit, took her to the centre and she refused to get out of the car. The centre staff tried to coax her out but said she was looking like she was having a breakdown so to take her to A and E. we were with her for 12 hours (after coaxing her for 3 hours just to get her to book in) . She finally had lots of medical checks and a MH nurse agreed she was suffering from Alcohol psychosis …. And was recommending she be sectioned! Hallelujah!! Well that all came crashing down, the panel rejected the recommendation and she was turfed out! She’s become so paranoid about her family she’s checked into a hotel and doesn’t want anything to do with us so we have decided that’s it…..we are letting her go and hoping she comes to her senses and decides that a life on the streets is not where she wants to be. Hardest decision in the world and right now it’s tearing us apart but after decades of misery on the horrific merry go round of alcohol addiction I think it’s now or never! I am so so sad tonight and cannot bear to even have her in my mind. I am new to forums but god I cannot believe how many stories are the same. I think this is going to be a big source of comfort for me and my mum.
