[QUOTE="busywend, post: 163682, member: 391"] Hi & Welcome, Mallygrl! I am glad you found us. First, I want you to take a deep breathe. Now realize that you are worth more than what your life is showing you right now. You & your daughter both need help. She is incarcerated and there should be something available to her from that facility that will help figure out what is going on with her. The problem with being in for the 15th time - she is starting to fit right in there. She will soon be one of them and may like it. I would recommend that you ask them to seek Residential Treatment Center living for her. She should get schooling, counseling, medication if needed, life skills, job training, etc. How has she been in school? Sometimes, the school has to pay a portion of a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) - the schooling portion - since they are legally required to educate her. Would the school be backing up this recommendation with you even if they had to pay? Now, for you. You have to be a strong, healthy mom to deal with a difficult child. You have some work to do for yourself. Get dry & sober now. Go to AA, it helps people, it really does. Chances are you drink due to your own mental health issues - many do. So, get yourself evaluated and find something besides alcohol to help you maintain. It will be difficult and a ton of work, but you can do it!!!! HUGS! [/QUOTE]
