I guess I wouldn't assume that they're NOT trying to help her. They might be, and the rush issue is just something else they're dealing with right now.

I thought of that after I reread the original post, and realized that I came down somewhat hard. But then I remember what "Susie" looked like, the last time I saw her - she was so gaunt, so aged, I had to excuse myself and throw up (honestly). And I suppose if I had to do that, so would a PNM.
So, I admit that I was speaking from emotion, but surely there's
something that this sister can do, that won't set her back even further?
BTW, the easiest way to get her unwanted help is to find a mental health facility that's attached to a regular hospital, and somehow get her to visit. A qualified therapist can have her committed within minutes.
