[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 727036, member: 1967"] We told our daughter that she could come home after her first long term rehab program, too. However, once she was in the program we realized that would not be the best thing to do for her or ourselves. So, at that point, we told her she would have to go to a sober living house after the rehab program and could not live with us ever again. She cried and screamed and accused us of lying to her. We told her that while we had at first told her she could come home, we realized that was not for the best and had changed our minds. We told her that we had learned and grown since then just like she was learning and growing. Of course, that was just the first of many rehabs and sober living stays. In each one, she told us her goal was getting to move back home. We stuck to our boundaries, though, and eventually I think she realized we meant what we said and that is when she finally got serious about recovery. I do think it was a good thing that she ended up moving back to our state (albeit an hour drive away). After she got sober, it made it possible for us to really start working on our relationship and healing our family. [/QUOTE]
