[QUOTE="dadside, post: 250996, member: 5707"] I guess my response would depend on what the past problems were, and what she is asking for... and maybe is willing to take or accept. If she were asking for help to change for the better, I'd welcome her to come home and then to the right place to get the help. That right place could be a lot of places. If the past problems were absolutely intolerable and she indicated no change happened or was wanted, I'd probably be happy to see her and talk, maybe give her a little something (bus fare, motel room cost?), but tell her she couldn't return to the home as things were in the past. And in between those ends, i'd look for her perhaps to come for a little bit and see what happened. My son had a serious drug problem, and was living away from our home. We could change nothing. Finally, he asked for help. We said yes, but on our terms, which he accepted. So, he came home, washed and changed, and went to an excellent psychiatric hospital (having been in bad ones before), and from there straight to an outdoor therapeutic program. Only when he asked for the help did things work out so well. So if your daughter is asking for help, do what you can to provide it. You don't want to miss the chance. [/QUOTE]
