[QUOTE="DDD, post: 372151, member: 35"] The ongoing sacrafice of required visitations and mandatory family visits (especially when a four or five hour drive is involved) is hard to cope with when you are exhausted and want peace and quiet. I'm sorry. Trying to look at the bright side :confused1: the experts do believe that since it is a family problem that everyone should be there. Your rehab program may differ from the three we tried but none of our programs taught anything about alcoholism. All had group sessions so everyone shared feelings. Some had obstacle (sp?) courses for "family team building". Some included individual family sessions with a therapist to discuss personal issues. Driving four or five hours two or three times a week (one night session was included at all facilities) was exhausting. What we did learn from the sessions was how many commonalities existed & that most of the parents had done every possible thing they could do before turning to rehab. I don't mean to be redundant but I feel your pain and fear and ehaustion. I will continue to say prayers and send caring thoughts. When the program is over you will absolutely know that you have traveled to the end of the line with difficult child. by the way, two of the programs had adolescnet psychiatrists on staff who did individual therapy and prescribed medication when deemed necessary. Many more hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
