[QUOTE="clive, post: 380391, member: 5132"] I don't get a chance to get on here too often. I think if I started posting I'd end up spending countless hours doing it, there's so much to talk about with my situation. But every once in a while I take a peek to see if there is a discussion that's particularly relevant to what's going on with my own daughter, and this one is so close to my own story it's scary. We kicked her out this past Monday, for stealing (and selling the merchandise to a pawn shop, which I contacted and will fortunately be able to retrieve). We told her rehab or out. She opted for "out". Last night, middle of the night, a phone call from her, asking for me to come and get her. She was obviously very drunk and/or high. I declined to get her, and turned my phone off. Expecting to hear from her today again. We took her back in after a similar situation a few months ago: she moved out, at our insistence (this was after totaling her car, drunk) to an apartment in a really bad neighborhood. We did pick her up a couple times a week, brought her home to do laundry and eat some food, and every time I drove her back to the apartment in this neighborhood I felt a bit fearful for her safety. Then one morning (after she'd been there for about 2 weeks), I got a hysterical phone call from her, telling me that her apartment had been broken into and she had been raped. Of course, I rushed to pick her up and bring her home to safety, filled with feelings guilt and regret. As the scenario played out, she was unable to remember any details of the assault -- she said she had taken some sleeping pills, and was visibly groggy when I picked her up -- and aside from a visit to a clinic on the way home from getting her, she has never followed up with any counseling, or been willing to discuss anything about the incident. Which leads me to wonder, naturally, just what happened. Anyway, despite promises to look for a job, get serious about school, etc., she fell back into old habits, and here we are again, probably about to face a decision regarding what to do when the next phone call comes. Thanks for sharing your story Bean, maybe we can all learn something from our similar tales. [/QUOTE]
