[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 608427, member: 1967"] I have been hesitant to post because of the board curse but difficult child has been doing very well. After a brief episode where she left the sober living house with a roommate who was using, she ended up going to a different sober house. The roommate she left with abscounded with difficult child's rent money, Kindle Fire, and "good" shampoo. Only my difficult child would have shampoo on her list of important things that were stolen. Anyway, we held our ground and refused to help with rent unless she was in rehab or sober living so she found herself a new one to go to and is paying half of the rent and we are matching her for the other half. She has had the same fulltime job now for 3 months and is doing a good job there. For the most part, she is paying her own bills and even went ahead and got a Florida license. Now, the topic of the thread . . . difficult child called late Thursday night asking where her appendix was saying she was in extreme pain and asked us what to do. We told her to go to the ER which she did. It turned out to be a ruptured ovarian cyst. Then, last night she called crying that the director of the sober house had called her while she was with friends to tell her someone at the sober house had OD'd the night before. She was back at the sober house when they removed the body. I asked her what he overdosed on and she said she was sure it was heroin. It was a year ago this week that husband found difficult child overdosed on heroin on our couch. Thankfully, he found her in time. I can only the imagine the pain of the phone call that the boy's parents received yesterday. He was a 26-year-old Iraqi vet who had lost a leg while on tour of duty. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
