[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 405277"] Having your child go to jail is an awful thing but sometimes it is the best thing because as you say you know they are alive and are not on the street. i actually think it makes some sense for the judge not to order rehab if the person does not want it... because it is that much harder to do the work if you don't want to do it. I know with my son he really really hated jail and it was a wake up call. When it came to the choice of jail or rehab, for him the choice was clear, he chose rehab. He would not have made that choice before going to jail though....once he was bored to death in jail he was going to do anything to get out. So hopefully for your daughter jail will be a the wake up call she needs. And I am glad you are done... time to find ways to build your life and find some peace for you. I know that can feel impossible but she is an adult and the choice is up to her. As parents we can only do so much and for so long. We love them forever but at some point they need to do for themselves. I am glad this forum is here also.... becuase really I don't think people who have not been through it really understand.
