[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 713343, member: 18958"] ksm. I am sorry. No other mother could have done more than have you. But you cannot reach inside of her brain to effect her minute to minute choices, nor can I for my own son. That has to come or not from them. Personally, however painful for her or you I believe she could well be served by a drastic change such as out of home placement/foster care. It could be a wakeup call and at least will take her away from her current associates but it seems clear she has no problem getting new ones (witness the rehab class.) But increasingly and continually she is showing you that she cannot and will not be contained by you. Or by anybody. The ball is in her court. As she continually defies authority and control, she will be reined in. This is a good, not a bad, thing. I do not remember the story about this judge, who barely allowed the adoption. What happened there? What was his/her reasoning? How do you think he/she will assess the current situation? ksm. I am sorry this keeps going on and on for you, but there may be a silver lining, if the court intervenes and provides for services/interventions/living situations whereby she may be contained. I hope so. [/QUOTE]
