[QUOTE="SadFlower, post: 673409, member: 19741"] Hi all, I really want to thank you guys again for all the encouragement... you have no idea what it means to me. The visit went well. It took some convincing but she eventually gave the resource officer the details of the 19-year-old. He said that he would get a restraining order against him and also press for his arrest. I've decided against a wilderness program. Most of them cost way more than I could afford anyway. And I've read so many horror stories about them online! It looks like in many of them, the people who are with the kids day in day out are for the most part fresh college grad who have no training except for a basic first aid course. Daughter repeats again and again that she would like to go "elsewhere" and starts over. She talks about how much she hates being adopted. I think she has a fantasy that her birth mother has actually wanted to keep her and that she was given up by some accident. I told her again that I wouldn't mind her finding her birth mother and re-connecting. We talked about maybe taking online classes next semester instead of staying at school and she liked the idea. We might do that. I just can't wait until we start therapy! We need some serious help here and it doesn't look like we've getting much :( [/QUOTE]
