[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 477717, member: 1967"] difficult child came over to our house to get a check for the halfway house. I left her in the kitchen for a few minutes while I went to get my checkbook. After she left, I went to give our dogs their afternoon dose of Benadryl for their allergies when I realized it was missing. I asked husband if he had moved it but he said he had left it on the kitchen counter where we always do after he gave the dogs their morning dose. So we realized that difficult child had taken it. When I texted her that I knew that she had taken it, she denied it. However, there is no other explanation. She also became nasty in our text exchange saying that I was making it up just for an excuse to not let her move back home. I texted back that addicts try to turn the blame on others when they are caught doing something wrong and that I was not going to let her do that anymore and turned off the phone for the night. So she is there but I think she is still drug seeking and not really on the road to recovery. I guess we will pay for the halfway house for a limited time and see if she starts improving. I do know that she will not be coming back to live here and she needs to be working on being functionally independent. The halfway house does require them to get a job in 2 - 4 weeks. That would be a great first step. Please keep a good thought . . . [/QUOTE]
