[QUOTE="KFld, post: 52727, member: 2442"] First of all, Welcome to the board!! Sorry you had to find us, but it is a great place. I know your decision to not allow your daughter back home is a heart wrenching one, but as you said, she still blames others, so you know in your heart that allowing her to come home is not what is going to help her change. Until she finds it in her own heart and knows what she needs to do, then allowing her to come home will only destroy your lives and enable her to follow the same road she has been. I do know how you feel because my son has been almost 9 months clean, living in a soberhouse, but I still always have the fear of relapse in the back of my mind, tucked away, and I pray I never have to be faced with him asking to come home, because I know he can't. She isn't going to meetings or following any kind of program, so you know she is just looking for a place to land for awhile while she continues on this path. You mentioned she was in a program for 17 months. It doesn't sound like she took advantage of the tools they were teaching. She's young and hopefully in time she will mature enough to realize what she is doing. My sons first detox/rehab was when he was 18. He went through many of them and in and out of a few soberhouses before he realized what he was doing, and what he needed to do. He is now 20. I'm sure others will be along soon to lend there support and experience. Hope finding this group will help you feel a little better about your decision. [/QUOTE]
