[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 643203, member: 1967"] Who knows what happened to the money. difficult child checked herself into the hospital today. She was trying to find a detox to take her but there was a problem since her insurance was going to change as of the 1st and they wanted proof of the new insurance. husband called an paid the premium today but was told it would take at least a day to change from pending to active. I suggested going to the ER and having them send her to a detox facility. Instead, they said that they would admit her to the psychiatric ward and detox her there. difficult child was out of medications and afraid of having a seizure. She was in withdrawal and vomiting. Surprisingly, she did all of this on her own. She called today and told husband what was going on asked to talk to me. I took the phone and apologized for what I said but told her that I just can't do this anymore. difficult child said she understood and didn't want to live like this anymore either. difficult child was very up front and said she didn't know what to do. She said that she needs help for her anxiety but when she gets xanax she abuses it. I told her that she is an addict and needs to learn to live with the anxiety without using medications. I also told her that only she can decide to change. In the past, she only did it because she was being forced to do it. She has never initiated going to detox, either. Does that mean I am delusional and think this means that she will actually get sober? I am way past getting my hopes up. I do feel better, though, after apologizing to her. I was not proud of my behavior. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
