This site is amazing and all of you are very encouraging wise.
I posted yesterday about daughter who we brought home after rehab, outpatient and then out in the street for two weeks after relapse. She had been home 4 days and left for 24hours and while we were out last night she came home.
I am really struggling right now, she is so definitely using again, but I'm so terrified to turn her away. Mentally she is in a bad place, read in her Journal (OK, my bad!) while in the street for those last two weeks, she tried "again" to take her life and berated herself for not even being strong enough to do that right. I contacted authorities and they said unless she tells them she is suicidal and has a plan they can't do anything. She doesn't want help so she won't admit that to them.
I just don't know what to do? I did the tough love last time around and it got her into a 30day of her own decision. She was really working the program and doing great, but 40days just wasn't enough to give her strength to work it on the outside.
She's burned every bridge and truly doesn't have anywhere to go if I turn her away.
Honest, I'm usually better at thinking all this through, I'm just stuck right now and don't know... husband say's just keep loving her until we can get her back on BiPolar medications so we know she's alive. I know normally that's not right, but I just can't get myself to kick her out right now.
Any input would be appreciated....
