[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 521478, member: 59"] You do have to go with your heart. I will say that difficult child entered DBT therapy after she was released from the treatment center to deal with her Borderline (BPD). She went about 4 times, each time she promptly met her boyfriend and smoked pot right after the session. She obviously was not taking it seriously. I was excited when we found this program as it does say it has good success with Borderline (BPD) but of course it was just another waste of money. My difficult child has a lot of issues that existed long before her drug/alcohol use. I can go way back to when she was 2 years old and would sit on every strange man's lap she could find and onto her schools years in stealing and lying and making up stories to shock people onto her high schools years with promiscuity and alcohol use and finally drug use. Would treatment help her? Probably yes but she can't stay sober enough to do it and it would cost a fortune that we don't have. So she will have to go through life living on the edge because she has not taken advantage ever of any of the programs that could help her. I know this is tough Kathy and like I said there are no good answers. If she were out of the house it would be easier but she is with you now and that makes it so much harder. She had a chance while she was in the sober house and she was blatant in her relapse. I don't think DBT therapy is going to stop her from using. Maybe if we had enough money to send our difficult child's to that place in California they would have a chance but she is saying what she knows you want to hear right now so she can stay at home and even if she thinks she intends to follow through I doubt she will. I'm speaking from my experience with my difficult child so I may be wrong, but I haven't seen anything in either of our difficult child's that tells me there is a good chance of change.
