[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 425753, member: 59"] That's an encouraging step. Can she do it on her own? Yes, people have done it before. But it will require a great deal of maturity and self reflection and knowing where to go for support when she needs it. I completely understand and respect easy child's feelings, our easy child's suffer tremendously and are sick of the words without actions. My easy child is currently living in a sober home. We got the letter you did in the form of a text after she had been on the street for six weeks. We told her she couldn't come home and that she needed to find a place for help but that we would support the help she found. She has been in the sober house for five weeks and is doing well so far. It is a slow process, she has a lot of junk to get rid of and a lot of self reflecting to do and I'm not sure she has the maturity or determination to change her life for good and to make a future for herself, but we are supporting her efforts. I know one thing is that we will never again allow our home to be terrorized by someone who is self destructive in the way she was. Like you said, it is up to them to change. I hope your difficult child continues to make progress in this area and that your easy child granddaughter finds peace. Nancy [/QUOTE]
