[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 405238, member: 59"] It's sad when them being in jail is a relief. We have judges order rehab here all the time, and they are not in state custody. What a shame that help is not available. Although I am a bit jaded about rehab right now. My difficult child learned so much more about drugs and how to be sneaky while she was there. And sadly not one of the people she met there is clean/sober now. husband picked her up yesterday and brought her home. She said she wants to continue going to the community college. We told her she has to pay the tuition (thank goodness we put it on a monthly payment plan) and if she gets a C or above in all her classes we will reimburse her at the end of the semester. That has been a relief to me because now it's on her and if she skips class or fails, it's her money. She has to submit to random drug tests and I will not tell her ahead of time we are going. I will also tell the lab that I am suspicious she will try to use fake urine. We are trying to manage day-by-day. She had met this girl at an AA meeting when she first got out of rehab and she saw her at the college last week. She took difficult child to an AA meeting last week and promised to keep in touch. So I called her yesterday and explained what was going on and asked if she could help. She said she would love to and said she would call difficult child last night and tell lher she was picking her up for an AA meeting tonight. She told me that she has been sober for 2 1/2 years now and got 2 dui's and was in jail before she got it. She said her parents were wonderful and she had a lovely home and still risked everything. She would be a good person for difficult child to have in her life. She also wants me to drive difficult child to a meeting Sunday night where she is doing the lead. I'll take any help I can get. Do I think she will stay clean/sober? not a chance. So I guess we will be kicking her out again soon and going through this all over again. Our only goal at this point is to get her enough training so she can get a job and support herself and leave here. I have no confidence that she will be able to keep the job or stay sober once she is out but then that is her problem. Toughlovin thanks for your continued support. I'm thrilled your son is doing well. I know it's hard not knowing what is really going on but it is also a good thing. I wish I could find a good parent group here too.
