My friend's daughter has some sort of mental illness (bi-polar or borderline personality) and has been on the streets for just over a year. My friend has no idea what to do and has tried everything to get her daughter into rehab, but to no avail. Please help, her daughter is slowly wasting away, and my friend is so sad and frustrated!

There is Alanon. It is a support group for people who have families or loved ones addicted to drugs and alcohol. You go to the meeting which lasts an hour and you share and talk about what it's been like for you. People in the group are going through the same things and will give you support.
You can call around to find out where there are alanon meetings.
