Girlfriend is gone for good in 30 minutes.

[Robert59]

My girlfriend's sister took her away in 30 minutes. She been with me for seven years and sister took her to her home in another state to get her ready for going into a group home because of her dementia. It hasn't hit me yet she's gone.

 

[Sassycakes]

I am so sorry to hear this.7 years together is a long time. Life isn't fair.

Robert, would you consider moving to be close to her. How is your relationship with the sister?

 

[katlupe]

I feel so bad for you but it doesn't seem like you had any other choice.

Robert, would you consider moving to be close to her. How is your relationship with the sister?

Her sister has never liked me in the first place. My girlfriend hasn't been taking her medicine for bi-polar and she real manic right now. I will say her and her sister can't get alone very well. This might not last very long. Sister thinks she can have her in a group home in days and might just take her months or even a year to get in.

 

[Geezerette]

Sorry to hear that. I wish there had been some middle ground. So sad when people won’t take the meds that could help them, and even a group home etc can’t force it into them.
And these good quality residential treatment can be very scarce or expensive or both.
Meanwhile Robert, think about yourself & what you might do to make your “single” status more enjoyable.

 

[Gaer]

Sorry to hear that, Robert. Take care.

 

[Shalimar]

I am very sorry Robert. Hugs.

Sorry to hear that it isn't going well, Robert. Have you made any plans for the possibility that the sister may show up one day and hand your girlfriend back over again to you? You said they don't get along and I'm pretty sure it's going to be difficult for the sister to find a group home or program for your girlfriend. The good ones have waiting lists a mile long.

 

[NorthernLight]

I'm sorry, Robert.

 

[Jules]

Robert, this will be tough for you. Hopefully it help your girlfriend.

 

[RadishRose]

I am also sorry, Robert. I hope somehow things will work out for the best, and sooner than later.

Keep taking good care of yourself, try something new and hang out with our forum as often as you like.

Well that sucks, sorry.

Does the sister have some sort of guardianship or power of attorney over your girlfriend? Just wondering how she had the power to sweep in there and take her away.

Are you going to try and fight for the right to manage her care?

It's got to be a shock, best wishes to you.

 

[Alligatorob]

As @Sassycakes says "Life isn't fair" and right now particularly unfair to you.

I know its hard, but I believe you will find a way through it. Best to you and your girlfriend!

"Next of kin." I experienced something kind of similar. It sucks.

Well, Robert59, if your girlfriend isn't taking her meds and getting worse, she needs to be where she will be medicated. It's difficult for loved ones to be hardnosed about taking meds. She's not in solitary confinement, she can get phone calls, email, mail, visits, day passes etc.

 

[Remy]

Wow, that's hard and you really don't know how this is going to go or if the sister will allow any communication. I'm very sorry for all this.

 

[Lee]

Robert....any updates?

 

[Georgiagranny]

@Robert59, I've been following your threads and want to let you know how very sorry I am. I don't have any words of wisdom for you; this has to be very hard on you. Please keep on posting! We care and we "hear" you.

 

[Kaila]

That sure is a sudden shock and change, for you,
even if you knew it might be coming, Robert, and even though it might be for the better, and who knows what will happen.

Do try to take care of yourself, now, as best you can.

 

[Right Now]

These times are heartbreaking, in whatever circumstances they happen. I'm sorry you are going through this, but it may be for the best for your girlfriend. Hugs to you.

 

[JustDave]

sorry, Robert.

 

[PamfromTx]

I hope and pray that a suitable facility is found for your girlfriend, Robert. She needs to be treated for her health issues. My sisters and I have been thru the struggles.... with my late mother.

 

[Robert59]

Girlfriend's sister called me today and said all her sisters doctor's are wrong because her sister doesn't have Dementia. All this is Bi-polar type 1. She has sign's of Dementia but sister says it Bi-polar.
