[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 466614, member: 1514"] Hey Kathy. I actually figured out what you were saying last night...lol. I knew no counselor would say to you in front of difficult child that she should come home to your house at her age. That would be like telling me I should go stay at my Dads...lol. Not happening. Im not surprised she is giving you heck at this point in the game. She is trying all her tired old antics. Lets see, if I threaten mom and dad with leaving rehab maybe they will cave...damn...they didnt. Hmmm..up the ante. Mom...you have never loved me...you didnt bring me enough cigarettes! You didnt bring me my stamps! You didnt blah blah blah! Everyone else's parents do blah blah blah! ( I love every one else!) When none of that works, she is going to still up the ante more and threaten she wont do anything anyone wants her to do right now....not go into sober living, no halfway housing, nothing. Only your house. What is up with that? Does she seriously want to be a child forever? You know I think I would look up sober living facilities around your area and then I would think about writing up a contract for living in your home. I would make it so unpleasant she would never want to live there. Bedtime is 8pm. No TV. No computer usage. You can think of things. Just make it really horrible. Oh...no friends. Just awful. No what I mean. Nothing a grown woman would want to adhere to. [/QUOTE]
