difficult child made all the arrangements on her own but asked husband to drive her to the interview yesterday (I was out of town on a short shopping trip with easy child). The interviewed her and told her she could move in Thursday. They asked her to commit for six months and would most likely ask her to stay longer, she agreed. We let her come home last night until she leaves so she can get her laundry done and pack. She is required to attend two AA meetings before Thursday so I took her to one last night and will take her to one this afternoon. She came home from the meeting last night and went to bed and has been sleeping since 10 pm.
None of the nice clothes that she had with her from home made it back. Of course not, she probably bartered the mall away for rides, food, alcohol, drugs. She is left with some cheap t-shirts and flannel bottoms. She was very happy to be home and said she couldn't wait to sleep in her own bed after six weeks of sleeping on a couch or floor. She said she hates her life now and doesn't ever want to live like this again and now understands why we did what we did.
I don't know much about this home and they would not let husband in at all since it is all women. Hopefully I will find out more tomorrow, but from what I heart it has good results. My neighbor's good friend was a severe alcoholic and went there and has been sober for 6 years now. They run a very tight ship, she is not allowed to attend to any outside business for the first three months. After that she is required to get a job and they help them learn how to save their money and get an apartment on their own. I don't even know if we are allowed to visit. But I do know she will be safe and off the street and hopefully learning how to live a sober life.
