[QUOTE="Fran, post: 416756, member: 3"] Nancy, keep reminding yourself that she got to this point of admitting herself to treatment because you drew the line in the sand. She chose to do what she did both bad and now good. Don't worry about visiting her. Keep detached. If she needs your help, she can ask and you can also choose what you are willing to do or not do. She needs those strong boundaries in order to find what kind of person she will be. It's about her and not about the parents any longer. Keep busy, do all the things you normally do and put her in the back of your head. Worrying won't change the outcome. It becomes wasted energy. Live your life and keep moving forward. She has those choices that everyone else has. I agree about not having too much excitement about her claim of turning herself around. Hope is good but results are more important. As I tell my difficult child "talk is cheap" Good luck to her. It's hard work doing what she is doing. [/QUOTE]
