Dear In Over My Head: You May Not Be Able To Force Your Brother Into Being Of More Help, But That Doesn't Mean You Have To Continue Living This Way. You Say Putting Her In A Facility Has Been Temporary Thus Far. Perhaps Now It's Time To Look For A Long-Term Solution. Mental Health Hospitals And Nursing Homes Are Not As Plentiful As Desired, But They Do Exist. You Can Also Look At Traditional Nursing Homes, Preferably Ones That Are Not Too Far Away From Where You Live. I Assume Your Sister Has No Income. Right Now, Medicaid Will Pay For Such A Facility. If It's A Convenient Distance From Where You Live, You Can Visit Her Regularly But Also Have Distance So That Your Nuclear Family Has The Freedom To Exist In A Healthier Environment.
