[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 621531, member: 15801"] Kathy, I think there are all kinds of support... and I personally dont think you should put your retirement and financial health at risk to pay for more rehab. There are various types of rehab and some of them are low cost and if she wants it and is willing she could do one of the low cost kind which of course is not as cushy as they are used to. My son is in a court ordered long term residential program which has been the best thing for him and we are not paying a cent for it. We do give him cigarettes and a little spending money but that is it!! I think it has been really good for him to be in a sense not having us pay for rehab and for it to be court ordered. We are supporting him by going to the parent support groups and going to see him every week, even though it is an hour drive away during rush hour etc. It is inconvenient but i think important. So that is what I mean by not turning our back.... we are there for him and he knows it..... but I am no longer willing to pay for expensive treatment either. We have been there done that and he has thrown it away so we are done doing that. I am also glad you are feeling ok given the shingles... makes me think I might want to get the shingles vaccine!
