[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 521579"] HI - can I have a cup of coffee and sit, too? My difficult child told me last week that she had detoxed for a few days and was ready to submit to a sober life. She was trying desperately to get a hold of my friend (who I think has saw the crazy and decided to run). But, she had such an entitled attitude and I was in disbelief that she was not one bit grateful for the opportunity my friend was willing to give her. All she could think about was how she was going to have a short temper because she was sober. I told her not to bother calling me back with that attitude and she hasn't. I have not heard a word from her in about a week. I just checked her call records and she tried calling my friend Monday but my friend did not answer the call and has not called her back. I think that opportunity is officially gone. Yet difficult child said she was not desperate enough for rehab. Judging by the call records I just saw, she is still very much in the trenches of her addiction... As for my easy child ever going to college, well, I just don't think it is going to be in his future. I love my easy child dearly, but he is just not book smart. His grades have always been low and he has always struggled to pass. I wish so very badly we had a vocational/trade school around here, but we don't. I keep trying with him, though. The teachers think he is lazy, but honestly, I think part of it is laziness and part of it is that he just isn't very smart. Gosh, that is horrible to say about your child, isn't it? :( I think I may have to experience the college excitement through all of you... [/QUOTE]
