Thanks Erin, I understand and appreciate what your saying, and for the most part very much agree with what you're saying.
It's difficult with my sister, because she'll be determined to not accept any help, and to solve her own problems in her own way (which isn't really working for her). She can also be deceptive and manipulative; I don't doubt that she has the best of intentions, but her way of dealing with things, isn't really working.
I was with her last night, in the hospital, and they were going to admit her; she convinced me to go home, after some time I did. I'm kicking myself now, because she's now at home (not the best place for her IMHO), she says they discharged her, but I strongly suspect she's discharged herself (after getting me out of the way).
I wish I'd given the doctor more background info on her, she's very good at pulling the wool over people's eyes, but I'm sure that's not a good thing here.
I'm tempted to call the hospital and find out if she did discharge herself or not, also to get in touch with her GP, and give a little background info; am not sure on the ethics of that though, but perhaps it would help if the GP has my insights as to what she's lile (i.e. very good at playing things down, pretending there's no problem, so as not get outside help, so she can try and do it her way).
It's really hard to get clarity and know what's for the best.
Jamie.
