[QUOTE="Star*, post: 396435, member: 4964"] Well - it sounds like you have done the utmost best you can do short of throwing her to the street - and since I, and many others here have also been on that precipice of do you truly let them go live in a park under a picnic table in a hobo camp or bring them in? While I don't agree EVER with bringing them home - I think I know where you are emotionally and mentally. It's like - WHAT happens to ME at this point if I say GO THERE (points to park) and lives in the streets with a drug problem, in the Winter time with no help from your family and then something really horrible happens when they're asking for help? The 'I'll never forgive myself' card gets thrown - and sometimes I think it's better to do what the heart says than what the brain knows - just that one.LAST.time. It's almost like the Forest Gump in your brain is saying Stupid Is As Stupid Does - and you can even see his face saying it with the expressions and all..... My bit of advice? We sat down with our shrink and drew up (albeit a ridiculous yet laughable piece of paper) a contract outlining what would happen IF.....and everyone signed it. With the intent that SHOULD rules be broken - THIS would occur. We even claused in a few rewards - never made it that far but it was nice to be fair. Fair er? More fair. See? Good luck dear - Best of luck and prayers for my niece. I hope she wants it for herself as badly as I do for her. Hugs & Love Star [/QUOTE]
