[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 39216, member: 3450"] My dtr's Residential Treatment Center (RTC) encouraged us to remain on the light side when communicating (unless it was a therapy time). I think it is okay to let them know life is still going on without them, in fact, it is important to know that their actions got them where they are but that doesn't mean your whole life has now stopped. Feeling regret for what they are missing at home is okay! Having said all that I do know that I start lecturing when I am determined I won't! However, I am hoping that now that I am no longer going to be helping my dtr it means I am no longer invested in what she is doing so I can ease up. I really would prefer to just have a casual conversation with her. I don't know what she is up to and since she lies about nearly everything there is no way to know anyway. But, I don't have to let it affect me since I am not going to give her money, help her move, etc. Jane [/QUOTE]
