this is what i think would be best, at this point:
1) Houseguest goes into hospital for psych treatment, observation, stabilization
2) Kid stays with us
3) Elder Sister Of Houseguest comes down to escort Houseguest and Kid back to Ohio when Houseguest is well enough to travel without trying to take over the plane or etc.
but probably we'll just lob them onto an airplane at first opportunity.
and yeah, why do you think i wrote it all down? i mean, you very rarely get to observe the pathology & delusions of an insane person in the throes of insanity if you don't live with them, the ones you know are well-medicated, and you're not a psychiatric care professional. you know i'm good with dealing with garden-variety neurotics - me and almost all of my friends, i have Good Sensible Advice for everything - but I NEVER get to see someone who's actually suffering from serious bizarre delusions. & what is interesting to me is that when in this state, all this stuff makes total logical sense to her. i mean, i know that in her head there is a simple reason for driving on I-95 at 4AM with no headlights, or flinging around blank checks at an ATM.
