Hello all,
I am still wrestling with my decision to stand firm with my difficult child this past Monday night. difficult child is 18, she discharged from rehab in January (spent 17 months there), she has relapsed in every way except using again. She has been thrown out of 3 houses, she stopped going to AA meetings, she went off her medications (celexa, trazodone, wellbutrin) and can't hold down a job. She sleeps around to get men to buy her food. She called and asked to come home. After a long discussion with husband, PCs and the director of the facility she spent 17 months in, I decided NOT TO ENABLE her by flying her home. It was VERY hard to tell her no she couldn't come home. She thinks that a change in geography will make the difference. She still blames others. She is walking down a dark road and I can't see where she is going.
I am sad. I want my little girl back.
Thanks for listening...
