Should we let her come home for a short while?

[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 32947, member: 3485"] We let our difficult child come home for four weeks and she did pretty well, but we made it crystal clear that only if she was actively working on getting into a residential treatment setting could she temporarily stay at our house, otherwise driving her to the homeless shelter and storing her things in the garage was all we could do for her. We've been burned before letting her come back for a short stay in between living arrangements. She always claimed that she had everything set up but it usually turned out that she had turned some vague "maybe" into a definite invitation; she ended up squatting at our house, using it as a base to sleep, get hot food and showers, and recuperate in between benders for as long as she could get away with it. Before her last disappearance she had just gotten out of a rehab and supposedly had some friends who were going to help her get into a soberhouse. Turned out to be a song and dance. She took off on Christmas Day with her then current b/f leaving her daughter wondering why mommy didn't come home from her "meeting" (not that it bothered her that much; mommy was hardly ever around anyway). Goodness, I guess I'm sounding pretty jaded too. Sorry about that. I'd certainly check with the g/f and the prospective landlord, and make doubly sure that she and b/f are well and truly broken up, and the other stuff people have mentioned. Whatever you decide, best of luck, and I sincerely hope and pray it works out for the best. [/QUOTE]
