[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 558265, member: 13882"] Hang in there, Mom. I have no great words of advice, because my difficult child never went to rehab, but I think that your placing a call to the person in charge is certainly a good idea to get the scoop. The good news is: she hasn't been thrown out, and she's still clean. That, in itself, is commendable. Her whole recent existence has been all about, "where can I score drugs, when can I do them again, who can I get money from" etc. She is now sober, so she has to fill up her time somehow, and she has to re-learn how to do that...everything is new, and will feel weird, and I'm not suprised she has thought of bolting. I think the people who run the program fully expect that. Crushing on this boy is probably expected, too, because it also fills her days with something to think about, strive toward, etc. In her mind, that's good. Of course, we know it isn't healthy or advised, but she's got to work that out with their help. If she's thrown out, it will be awful, for sure. Deal with that IF and WHEN you have to , but for now, she's hanging in there. I would be worried too if I were in your shoes, because we know deep down they have to learn how to function normally all over again, and how to think normally and feel things normally, and maybe there's a part of us that doesn't think that's possible after so long, and so many disappointments. She has to want it more than you. Keep encouraging her - it's a long road ahead and Rome wasn't built in a day. Sigh - don't you wish you could fast forward through the rough bits? [/QUOTE]
