[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 398916"] Who knows a call might help or it might not.... but I agree listen to your gut. I doubt your phone call would be what would make her go to rehab.... she has to get to the point where SHE really wants it and is willing to do what it takes to get it. She is not a young woman anymore she is an adult (even if she doesn't act like one). Your mother in law is desperate to save her daughter and so is grasping at straws trying to do that. The problem is she can't save her. I would suggest you continue to listen to your gut and say no but I would suggest that your mother in law go to Alanon, especially if she can find a meeting for parents. There she will find people who truly understand her pain, worry and wish to save her daughter.... and support to let go and find pleasure in her own life. No one can save your sister in law except her self.... I do recommend the whole family go to Alanon. My husband and I just started going and have found it really really helpful. [/QUOTE]
