Yes, there are times when our loved ones need more help than we alone can give to them. This is why there are professionals who are trained well to deal with such things. She needs psychotherapy before she does more than just cut herself. She needs an objective listener, someone she can talk to who is not a relative or a loved one, because in talking to a 'stranger", one has more freedom to express deep emotions and feelings than with someone who knows us or thinks they know us, and someone we care about. Do continue to give her love and attention, though, by visiting her in the facility and writing to her daily perhaps and doing whatever you can do to reinforce her knowledge that she is loved by you and the rest of the family. She should not be put there and left totally alone. People in rehab centers and hospitals are not being thrown away; they are just there to get help. She will probably get that help and then come home again, so do not neglect her while she is there. I'm sure all of you will play a very important part in her continued recovery. She will not be cured, just taught how to better deal with stress and negative feelings, so when she comes out of there, she will need all of you to understand your parts in her life in order to help her maintain her newfound skills and continue to heal. Bless her heart; she will be in my prayers this day, and you, as well.
