[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 457096, member: 59"] Well it's very sad indeed. But please remember of course she does not want to get clean while she's using. In those moments of clarity, for whatever reason, when they want to go to rehab, they have to go then, no waiting. When our difficult child was scheduled to go into rehab on Monday she spent the entire weekend drinking and smoking pot. We were furious with her. We expected because she agreed to go to rehab that meant she was willing to quit. She couldn't quit without the rehab program behind her so as they told us, it was expected that she would have one last fling before she went. If she had not taken her on Monday she would not have gone herself. I don't know if your difficult child will ever get help or not, but if she has those moments of clarity when she wants to go, get her there if at all possible. Just don't expect that she will act like she likes it or even wants to participate. It's very hard on parents but her drugs have a hold on her that she cannot break free from at this point.
