[QUOTE="holdinon3, post: 615414, member: 17439"] My daughter, with encouragement from her psychiatrist, will enter inpatient treatment for bulimia and substance abuse. We hope to have her admitted by Monday. She remains at school as the treatment center is closer to school than our home. My feelings are so mixed as I see all her friends coming home from college for the holidays. I see my happy FB parent friends chatting about their excitement for their college student coming home and baking cookies and buying presents. I am filled with shame, embarrassment, sadness, shock at how this could even happen, disappointment, anger..... I love her more than anything and will help her until my dying breath (but not enable) but this is a first for me, and I do not know how to act or what to do. She will be in treatment for the holidays. I feel shell shocked yet I am relieved she is getting help before her problems escalate. At this point, she has a shot at a happy, productive life. I don't know how to face the world to tell them my honors student, musically talented, beautiful daughter is in rehab for dug abuse. I hope I don't sound shallow, but this is a very honest question.
