[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 555104"] All I keep thinking is, I am the mommy. I am supposed to be able to make it all better. And I can't. I just want so badly to scoop her up, hug her and tell her it is all going to be okay. And yet I know that is not going to make it all okay. It [I]kills[/I] me that I am so powerless. And she still says no to rehab. She says she will go to that one program - the one we cannot afford. When I asked what she liked about it and why she thought it was such a great program, she couldn't give me an answer. She just said she can "see herself being successful there" and mentioned how it was a half way house. I told her she needed a program before a half way house. If she truly wanted to get clean, she would be willing to look at other places. She told me, hey, "at least I am not shooting it anymore. That's a big step." Yeah, like that is supposed to make me feel better?? It doesn't. Not one bit. I was truly better off before seeing her today... [/QUOTE]
