[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 644261, member: 15796"] I received a call from her caseworker yesterday introducing herself. :) She did tell me that most women minimize their issues at first and to just give her time. She said difficult child is being really positive and doing good. She has confidence that difficult child is going to get what she needs there. Goodness, I [I]really[/I] like this place. Can you believe they only started charging money in 2012?? I also got a letter from difficult child yesterday - they are allowed to write letters during free time on Friday nights. The letter was extremely positive, she wrote how much she truly loves it there, the people there and her roommates. She did write that she hopes one day we will reconsider Connor coming there to be with her. She wrote how she wants him to grow up to be a Godly man. She has always been pretty religious and this place will definitely build on that. Heaven knows I would rather her be addicted to God than drugs! I plan on telling her that she needs to focus on her recovery right now. We will re-visit the topic of Connor coming there after she has moved up in levels but we will work with her [B]caseworker[/B] on deciding the right time for that. husband and I do both agree that if she is doing really good months into the program that we should consider Connor being with her there. But not right now. Right now she needs to focus on herself. I am looking forward to the family counseling. Is that weird? But I really do want to break the cycle in this family and I will do whatever it takes. Still need to find some therapy for myself close by...and figure out when I can go. All I do is work and take care of Connor - I don't know what free time is anymore! I can't even get to the gym for my yoga classes. :( Someday... [/QUOTE]
