[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 397175, member: 1233"] I hope that you can detach from her poison and find ways to enjoy the holiday. If nothing else take a book or puzzle or something and go get a cup of coffee or enjoy a movie by yourself or with someone you enjoy. I am not sure who you are waiting for. Is this some govt agency or a rehab program that she goes to tomorrow? Do you have a plan if it will take her a few days or a couple of weeks to get into whatever it is? If so, have you thought about what you will do with her until she is placed somewhere? If it is a group with a waiting list, they will get her in sooner if she does not have a home to stay in. Maybe if you tell them that by X date she has to be in a program and living elsewhere or she must go live somewhere else anyway because she cannot stay under your roof for more than Y days it would motivate them to get her into a place faster? I hope something is open soon because addicts/difficult children are usually willing to change for short periods but if it takes long they decide to go back to bad patterns. You are a good mom to let her be at home while waiting for this opening!! Esp after all the problems and ugliness she brings into your home. [/QUOTE]
