[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 701440, member: 18516"] It's good that your daughter is willing to work with sw. Of course she wants to come home. This is the cycle of our difficult adult children. They hate to be in our homes because we have rules so they leave to live life on their terms which always becomes unmanageable and then they want to come home to feel safe and secure, until they hate being there and they leave again. Yours is more complex than most because your daughter is so ill. I admire your strength and resolve in standing firm that she cannot come home. This is encouraging. Of course she wants you to give her another opportunity, it would make her job easier. What the sw is not seeing is that you have given your daughter "another' and "another" opportunity. Unless someone has been in our shoes, they just do not understand that we as parents can only take so much. It's easy for an outsider to look in and say "I would do this or that" or "I would never allow my child to be homeless" I would give these people a week in any one of our homes to deal with what we have all dealt with before they would run screaming from the house in defeat. You just as I, did not "allow" our adult children to be homeless. Our children have chosen that life for themselves. They have put their drug use above the love of family. We, the parents here on this site have fought long and hard to save our children from going down a destructive path. We have come to realize that we do not have the power to save them, we only have the power to save ourselves. ((HUGS)) to you Sam. :notalone::staystrong: [/QUOTE]
