Some of you might have read some of my posts mentioning my sister. She is 10 years younger than me (21 years old) and also has Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder.
She has been homeless and out of touch with everyone in the family and her friends for over a month. But I saw her posting on Facebook today that she was on her way to a rehab centre.
I'm so relieved! I was so worried and didn't want her to go through the bad things that happened to me in my 20s. Now she will be safe and in treatment for 6 months.
She didn't go willingly. My mother had a court order to have her arrested and taken to rehab because she found out that my sister was using drugs again.
Fortunately there are psychologists, a medical doctor, and a psychiatrist at this rehab. So I feel hopeful that they will treat Bipolar first because the substance abuse is just self-medicating.
My mother is still acting like an awful person. I texted her to ask her if she had the phone number for the clinic and times when family were allowed to call. She replied that I wasn't speaking to her with any respect or humanity and that she couldn't deal with my tone?!
All I said was 'please let me know what phone number I can reach X at & what times family are allowed to call'
Anyway I don't need to speak to my mother anymore. I don't need that drama. I'm just focusing on the good news today:)
