[QUOTE="klmno, post: 332015, member: 3699"] I'm really glad you updated us- many of us have worried about you and how things were going. I'm sorry to hear that your daughter is still struggling but I think you have a point- if she's not ready or willing to deal with her life responsibly, maybe it's best that she is incarcerated. I'm wondering if you can throw out ideas to her defense attny before she goes to court. I can do this with my son's defense attny but he's still a minor. Courts have the option of requiring drug treatment, mental health treatment, a work program (where they work during the day but retturn to the jail at night or else go to prison), a half-way house, etc. Maybe under the circumstances she would sign an agreement allowing you to talk with her attny and discuss some of these things- if she thought you'd refuse her return home otherwise. As far as you, and you and husband- that is wonderful news!! Personally, I'd rather have those date nights home instead of out on the town if I had to choose one over the other and couldn't have both! But what you are doing for yourself is really great! If difficult child ends up coming home or back on the streets, I'm sure the stress of it all will send things backwards some but still this investment in yourself and your and husband's investment in the relationship will be stronger and it might not end up as bad as things were before. You have a stronger foundation now- as an individual and as a couple. That is the main thing! [/QUOTE]
