[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 609326, member: 13542"] My experience and understanding about jail time is that yes, she might get lucky and receive some kind of education and/or care..........but she just as easily, may not. Idealistically I would hope that people with problems would be helped rather the punished, however, I don't realistically think you can count on that. However it turns out for your daughter will be the consequence of [I]her [/I]behavior. That alone could possibly change her, but then again it might not. If you've read posts here you likely see that these scenarios get played out in so many different ways..........Of course I hope for the best for your daughter, but the best thing you can do now is to really take good care of yourself. When the dust all settles you'll be able to access the situation and at that point determine how much if any support you want to offer your difficult child. In the meantime, it appears she has found a place to live, has denied the deal to stay at your place as long as she is drug tested and is not involving you in her latest adventure. In the difficult child world, sometimes that's as good as it gets for awhile................. and during that time, in my opinion, it's best to go live your life and find your joy..............Hang in there, you'll find out soon enough what the next chapter will be in your daughter's latest drama. Keep posting. Sending you warm wishes for peace......... [/QUOTE]
