I see this struck a nerve with yoy, how do you really feel?  Flip side parents can destroy your life. Mine were convinced i was so fucked up i was on multiple ADHD drugs and antidepressants growing up. Dunno if it would be better to try and cost under the radar or to fight fire with fire. If she ends up in treatment though... it ain't good. I am damn sure majority of psychologists and psychiatrists are more fucked up than their patients, and they want that money to keep coming.
