[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 581606, member: 1967"] Quick update... Things went really well today. She didn't react badly when we said she couldn't come back to live here. She seems resigned to staying in Florida for a while. The group session with all of the families was interesting. When one mother asked what to do if her son relapsed after his third stay in a treatment program, the therapist leading the group told her at some point she would have to come to terms with letting him live his life of addiction and maintain minimal contact. He said she would have to say that there would be no financial support since as parents we can't "finance their death." That really made an impact on me. One sweet thing that happened was when we first got there and difficult child sat down next to me, she reached down and took off a really pretty pearl bracelet and put it around my wrist. It was the bracelet she had bought me for Christmas and put under the tree before the intervention and then took with her the day she was forced to leave our home for treatment. I'll update more tomorrow. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
