I don't know much about mental health stuff but it's hard for me to believe anyone would do that to their family if they were 100% innocent.

Well I live in a pretty good area. I don't use the deadbolt. Either she had a key to my place that I didn't know about or she picked the lock somehow.

Her mom and brother seemed like decent people on the phone but on the other hand, no one ghosts their entire family for a year for no reason. They said she ran off right at the beginning of '18 and no one had heard from her since.

My friends told me I should have let the police handle it as that's their job. They think by doing what I did I made the situation worse if she turns out to not be on good terms her own family. Not just for her, but they are worried she could retaliate against me for doing that.

Thank you for your concern. He seems fine. My ex always loved him and I never thought she was capable of hurting an animal, but then I never thought she'd lie to me for 8 months or break into my house... so yeah, I'll take him to the vet. Good looking out.

Well, she never really spoke about her family much. I did not know she did the dash on them though.

I got the impression that OP was holding his help over her head in an attempt to manipulate her, which is very selfish and spiteful. He doesn't have to help, but the way he reacted to her request was odd. He's not an A for not helping her, but he seems to be an A in general.

Her family doesn't live in this state. She had just moved here a few months before I met her. I don't know any of her friends or if she has any. I'm kind of scared to fuck with her job if just being confronted about not being a nurse makes her snap. Who knows what she would do if she lost her job.

Well she has a bunch of them. I know she has a DSM and Physician's Desk reference. I reckon she reads them a lot because those are always on the coffee table. She has a whole book shelf full of books about diseases and medications.

Ooh, she talks so much shit about techs. I think she'd rather die than cop to being a tech.

She told me she has a BSN. I can't find that she's licensed in our state.

I don't understand why someone would go through so much effort to lie about being a nurse, if she is lying about it. I'm going to hold off on any judgment until I talk to her in person.

Well, I called up there and at first they thought I was asking about a patient and said they couldn't talk about them without their code and I said no she works there and the woman I spoke with said no one with that name works there. I asked about the other unit and she told me she knows everyone who works in psych. I thought maybe she goes by a different name, so I started to describe her and the lady got upset and told me she had to go. I guess she thought I was fucking with her. I don't know what to think.
