[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 621036, member: 17635"] Hugs Recovering, I am so very sorry your daughter is back in jail.....and that her roommate says, "No more". When it looks like our difficult child can get along with somebody else, it gives us hope. With my own gfg32, it was the lack of honesty that always seemed the final straw in other relationships. He was never honest with husband and me, either...but we stuck it out longer than the others. ugh Others have mentioned resources and I am hoping there is a halfway house, something. One time when my difficult child was let out of jail after a few days, it was with the clothes on his back and one shoe (because he only had one shoe when they arrested him). Within a few days he was back in jail - NOT because he only had one shoe, but that always bothered me....the image. When we vow we are through/done with the enabling, this is where it comes down to where the something meets the something, I guess. The impounded car and its fees....yet, we know it is the right thing to do. Put the responsibility on the difficult child to straighten out his/her life. I like it when folks on here say things that remind me, [I]Is this the way you want to live when you are 80 years old and difficult child is 55? Because that is where you would be if you keep up the enabling. [/I] You have inspired me with such wonderful words, made some dark days so much better. I guarantee you my wagon IS in the circle!
