[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 677495, member: 19905"] We found programs that would take her. She wouldn't take them - which let me know that she isn't ready to really change yet and we were right not to foot the bill and not to take her in. She had every excuse under the sun. No, these places weren't resorts and she would have had to really work to pay for her stay, like you talk about. So I can't blame it all on the system - there are some options out there if it is a financial issue. But they are few, far between, and often have a wait list. I get aggravated thinking about it bc at the time there was not wait list and she just flat refused. And they won't take you if you aren't willing. I also get aggravated that the rehab she was in put pressure on us instead of her. They should have pressured her into looking at those options or being homeless instead of trying to guilt trip us. It might have swayed her. But if she wasn't really ready, it wouldn't have helped and it wouldn't have lasted. It is like a dog that chases its tail...never ending circles that result in getting nowhere... [/QUOTE]
