[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 619287, member: 1967"] I don't remember ever being told that difficult child should stay away from others that she was in treatment with. In fact, they have an alumni group that meets monthly although my difficult child doesn't go. I do remember that they were told to stay away from having romantic relationships for the first year. I don't think any one of them kept that rule. I don't know how you can keep 20 somethings from romantic entanglements. Sadly, when the relationships go bad, it is often a trigger for relapse. My difficult child got in trouble for spending too much time with a guy while she was in residential. I don't know if it became physical or more of just a preference for spending time with each other but it was considered a breach of the rules. She went to visit him a few months later against our wishes and hasn't mentioned him again. I guess the reunion did not go as well as she expected. As Nancy said, they are encouraged to spend time with others in recovery. It is a two edged sword, though. When one relapses, it can adversely affect the others. [/QUOTE]
