I got the news last night from DH. SD18 has been at BMs for the last week, and BM texted DH that she decided to check herself into an inpatient mental facility. She was having panic attacks every night. I can only assume this is anxiety about having to go back to her part time job next week, and also just generally untreated bipolar disorder. DH was very anxious and tried to call the facility, but it was after hours so the phone just rang. I told him she will be ok, and to just take a step back and let the psychiatrist do his/her job. This was his daughter's choice, after all. 

And Im REALLY trying to muster up some empathy for her. She did not succeed, and Feral Forger was able to calm her down over the phone, long distance, but it feels like a huge pile of stinky smely cr@ppy drama.

Munchkin is stressed, and telling me (via text) that her Aunty Crazy Troll called the grands, who already called the police, who have already been there and gone.
