Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: I don't know how you did this

"....cannot send material to anyone other than the person making the request."

--I assumed it was ok for me to have the magazine sent to her. When I ordered it from OA's web site, it was set up that you could send it as a gift. They even provided a field where you could enter who the gift was from.

"And "trapping" her at an OA meeting sounds cruel, both to her and to the other people at the meeting."

--Please know I would NEVER do anything that would be cruel to ANYONE! I just said this out of hopelessness. I will forego this bad idea.

As suggested, I think my best bet at this point is to talk to the doctor. Our family has a great relationship with him, so this may be able to help or offer suggestions. If that doesn't work, I will have to distance myself from her a bit. Otherwise I will drive myself crazy! Like everyone has said, I can't force her to take care of herself, so I guess I shouldn't bother trying.
