Had to institutionalize a friend yesterday. Which is bad enough in itself, feeling like an asshole for being mildly manipulative to get her into the ambulance. But also the institution has a really bad track record of treating their patients with actual care. (at least the ambulance people were kind)
Today I have to meet her mom, who's coming over from USA to take over handling her care. Which is good, because we, the friends, don't have that kind of legal access as a family member would, and also she can probably devote more time right now. But also, she's part of the root causes why the friend has been having problems her whole life.
So now I'm gonna have to have a difficult conversation where I get to go "despite what I promised earlier, I can't give you the keys to your daughter's apartment".
And I just get to feel like an asshole again.
