[QUOTE="slsh, post: 382923, member: 8"] If she goes to rehab for you, or as a condition that you set, more than likely it's not going to work. She has to choose rehab and [U]not[/U] because it's the easiest way out or the only option left. She has to want to get clean/stay clean. Believe me, I completely understand your fears. I live with- them myself. But this is not something we can do for our kids. We can't work the program, we can't provide motivation, and we can't make them stop using. This has to genuinely be something they want. My son amazes me to this day with his capacity for misery. His quality of life is ... well, unbearable to me. But it's his life and only *he* can change it. I'd help in a heartbeat if I thought he was really moving forward, really trying. But he isn't and so we wait. It's probably the toughest stage of his life, for me anyway. I just hope that he'll survive until he gets to the point where even he can't ignore how deep a hole he's dug for himself and decides to do something to turn it around. It's incredibly hard. I'm so sorry. [/QUOTE]
