Mark and Kimmy- thoughts and prayers to you both, and to Tish.

Chopperpaul got me thinking.....Has your daughter been assessed for alcohol and/or drug dependency? There's a big connection between depression & suicidal ideation/attempts and the addictions.

Does she use alcohol/drugs to self medicate? Suicide attempts while under the influence? If so, you and whoever else advocates for Tish might have better luck with long term placements and support through the substance abuse treatment systems. Most programs now are very skilled dealing with co-occuring disorders (substances and mental health issues together).
