I'm sorry this has been so difficult and frustrating. I understand. You may have already tried these things, but here goes...
If I were you, I'd restrict Silk's area to where she is always close to you so that she can't sneek off. Some people even suggest attaching their leash to your belt so that you will always be aware of where they are and what they are doing. When you can't watch her closely, crate her or put her in a small area (like bathroom or laundry room) with paper to go on. It's much less frustrating to clean up potty-mess on paper than on the floor or carpet.
In addition, if you aren't already, try the bell tied to the doorknob idea. I assume you are already treating lavishly for any successes outside? And not punishing for pottying indoors (which encourages slinking off to potty so that mom can't see you).
I hope this works out for you. I know it will break your heart to have to relinquish your pup.
