Good morning. I've been offline here for the last couple weeks, dealing with my daughter's health issues, so I'm just catching up. I'm sorry you are going through all this.
This whole situation brings me to tears. Families can be the biggest source of support but also the biggest sources of pain and frustration. As I tell my patients, we all families are dysfunctional, just each in their own, special way.
At least Mavis still says that she cares for you. There is still hope for y'all, but not until she can stand up to her daughter. That "push" cannot come from you, however. Does she have other close friends who can help intervene on your behalf?
Everyone else has said more than I could offer, so I'll otherwise just offer my support and prayers for a positive outcome.
