[QUOTE="klmno, post: 287258, member: 3699"] Bran, I'm very sorry to hear about all this. I read your post but have not read all the responses. I have been concerned about you and wondered what happened many times. As far as your daughter, I personally think you will being going through another incident before too long. The one suggestion I have based on being a person who once went thru rehab/therapy (and you may choose to ignore it), is that hitting bottom cannot be turned around in less than a week. IOW, if she gets desparately sick and tired again, it might be in her best interest to leave her in jail a while. No matter how much she might be willing to accept change when things are horrible, it takes being clean for a while and having some therapuetic change actually take place with her in order to be able to maintain that and until there has been time to go thru those mental processes and she has actually gone thru them, she probably will continue to go back to the same poor choices every time this happens. If she stays locked up and clean (meaning she is forced to stay this way), it gives time for some therapuetic processes to happen. IOW, until she has gone thru certain mental processes thru specialized therapy and a good treatment program, she will probably return to the same thing as soon as she starts feeling better and has a chance to. I have no idea how or even if they handle that thru the courts in your area when an 18yo is involved but they need to get a clue about letting her out the next time she's locked up. If she can be locked in a treatment facility for a minimum of 60 days the next time she hits bottom, that would be the best thing for her, in my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
