[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 370491"] Oh Nancy I am so sorry. It is good you found out so quickly as awful as it is. I hope your husband can get on the same page as you soon. My recommendation if she says she won't go is to say ok then we will drive you to a homeless shelter but you can't live here like this. If she won't leave your house you can call the police. Man I feel for you and for your husband. This is so darned hard especiially after all you have recently been through. The hard fact is she will keep behaving this way until she wants to stop. Protecting her for these really bad consequences is not going to help her to want to stop. Hopefully in rehab they can get her to see that these choices are not getting her anywhere in life. I think that is the hardest part of being a parent of a child who has substance abuse problems (or other problems too) is that as a parent we want to protect them, keep them safe and yet we can't. The sooner they face the terrible consequences they might face if they don't stop the better. I hope she will go with you willingly this afternoon. [/QUOTE]
