[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 372144, member: 59"] Well we took her. She told us that if she didn't go to rehab she would be on the street dead. I believe that. But I dont; think this program, or any rehab program, is going to give her the kind of dual treatment she needs, both for addiction and her psychological issues. husband and I are both still so angry at what she did. I went to the neighbors to tell them about the ladder and gave them the guys name, address and telephone number and told them they were free to press charges. husband made her help him carry it back there when he got home. I deleted all her friends from facebook and left only family memebers and then deactivated the account. I deleted all her contacts from her cellphone and had theline suspended. If and when she comes back home she will have to start her life over. She told me yesterday that I should have blocked her frombeing able to text these guys. I told her I would have to block her fromtexting anyone because if it weren't these guys it would be different ones and I'm tired of being her babysitter. Then she said she was sorry she was such a disappointment in my life. I told her don't you dare lay that on me, be sorry you are such a disappoinment in your own life. We left her with $6 to buy a phone card so she can call us. I'm sure the admissions person thought we were horribly unsupportive because the tension just permeated the room. Visiting hours is Saturday 2-5 and we are suppose to be there all day Sunday for family program. I really have no desire to go since it is mostly educational and I know more about the disease of alcoholism than one person should ever need to know, besides I also know the low success rate for recovering especially in such a young person. But for now I'm going to try to use this time to recharge and find the person I use to be and help lessent he stress both husband and I are under. My heart is aching. Nancy [/QUOTE]
