[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 472274, member: 1967"] Coming back to live here for even two weeks is not an option. She steals from us and is verbally abusive and we really don't see any change in her from her stay in rehab. She is definitely still the center of her own universe (love how keista put that). I think she will go stay with her friend's mom . . . the one that took her in before she went to the rehab center. Her phone is a month-to-month plan but we would have to pay for the month in rehab that she didn't use and then for the upcoming month. We would meet her each week to put gas in her car. Does that sound reasonable? Having her here and trying to impose rules would just make our lives miserable (not to mention having to watch my purse every second). There is one other option that she is putting forth. The friend's mom said she could stay there and she would attend outpatient counseling, attend AA meetings, and go back to her DBT treatment (that we would pay for). In one aspect, I do think the DBT program would be beneficial because she has mental health issues that are not being treated in the rehab center. On the other hand, we tried the DBT thing before and difficult child only went a few times and we ended up paying $150 for missed sessions. Why should we believe it would be any different? One plus, though, is that the substance abuse was not being addressed the last time she started the DBT program. Here we are . . . back in the middle of difficult child chaos. [/QUOTE]
