[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 372581, member: 59"] Thanks for asking Fran. I talked to the doctor who was doing her assesment and gave him a lot of background info. He said she was a classic alcoholic. Then her counselor called me yesterday to report that difficult child was participating in group and was doing ok but had a lot of work to do. She has made friends with some of the other girls around her age. The counselor seems very nice but no pushover. I think difficult child has met her match with her and won't get away with anything. She promised to keep in touch and said she didn't want us to come to this Sunday's family program because she wants difficult child to have a few more days to get acclimated. That was music to my ears. We are going up for visiting hours on Saturday. At about 11pm difficult child called. She had to use her friend's phone card because she used the money we gave her for a phone card to buy cigarettes. She seemed to be doing well and was resigned to being there. She said they told her she would be there for 90 days. We only signed up for the 30 day program and don't have the funds for 90 days, but obviously they feel she needs it. We are waiting for them to approach us with this information. difficult child said she was in the detox unit for 3 days and would be moving to her room today. She must have been much worse off than we knew because they originally didn't think she needed more than one day in detox. She must have been drinking much longer than we knew. She gave us a list of things she wants us to bring her. The past few days have been so relaxing and we have been able to sleep through the night. It's so nice not to be afraid to answer the phone or read my texts. I could get use to this life. Nancy [/QUOTE]
