It might not be your/her choice anymore.

Not so funny thing is that the police won't take her because they don't have the medical facilities and the hospital in true American health system fashion wants to get her out of there because she isn't about to die, miraculously.

Sad thing is her sons want nothing to do with her anymore, and we brothers and sister have tried everything. We have confiscated her Rover and Jag.

Any ideas?

Yup. Do nothing for her mate. I know I had people try & pull all sorts of shit when I was in active addiction & it was only when I was ready that I could enter a 12 step programme. No one can force you to get help you do not want least of all those closest to you.

Yep, that is the conclusion we have come to, sad as it is. She will probably have to roam the streets for awhile. She isn't getting her transportation back.

I'll take the Jag... Or the Rover...

Sorry Jon, those the sons have not had enough of.

Getting her sons on board is probably the only thing that would do it.

Tooooooooo late. They have been babysitting their mom since they were little boys (both over 30) and they are done.

I played the grandchildren on her and it worked for a month or so. Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson and that moron from 2 and 1/2 Men were/are playing single A ball compared to my sister. I figured she was as good as dead 30 years ago and she keeps going (and thriving economically). Those 3 rolled into one are my sister.

She has always been an exquisitely beautiful, wild and ruthless beast. When we were young all of my friends wanted me to fix them up with my sister. I always told them that they would not survive her. Many have not.

She will probably live 30 more years and make and spend two more fortunes . . . or perish this morning.
