[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 415934, member: 3485"] No sooner do I post than something happens. difficult child called wife Friday morning, said she had been beat up the night before. She wanted wife to get easy child 1 (who is homeschooled) out of the house for a while, then come get her, take her to get her clothes from somewhere, bring her home to get a shower, and then give her a ride to detox. wife said she didn't think so, but she was sure my parents would get her to detox. difficult child said OK, she was going to call somebody about her clothes and would call back. wife then called to alert my mom, who said yeah, they'd take difficult child to detox but not all over town first; and to easy child 1's counselor, who was also difficult child's counselor last fall. The counselor came over to the house to talk to difficult child when she called back. But difficult child didn't call again, and calls to the number she had called from went unanswered. wife had a bit of a breakdown, felt like she had turned difficult child away when she was seeking to make a change. My mom came over and she and the counselor sat with her for a couple of hours. So again, we don't know where difficult child is or what she is doing now. I think if she was serious about getting into detox again she could do it -- in my opinion she just threw it out to get wife into "helper" mode - it didn't work this time, so hooray wife! And thanks mom and counselor for getting her through the worst part. It is so hard for wife to sit on her hands, but for easy child 1's sake she is learning to refuse to let difficult child's drama overwhelm her. [/QUOTE]
