[QUOTE="Genny, post: 185692, member: 95"] SanitySeeker, First off, Welcome!:salute: I'm glad you found us, and I have a feeling you will be too. You'll find people here who know [I]exactly[/I] how you feel because we've been there done that (been there, done that). You'll need to re-assess your dreams for your daughter, but that doesn't mean giving them up! So she won't graduate from the high school you wanted. Now that she's in a program where she'll recieve the support and help she needs, she still has a chance at making a fine adult! That was my husband's and my mantra for years, "she'll make a great adult, if we can just get her there." It sounds like you're doing all the right things to get her on track to have a happy, productive life. Now it's up to her. It's going to take time - probably more time than you think. But for a lot of our kids, a placement is the best shot they have at turning themselves around. In other words, you're doing good, Mom!:happy:. And if you ever feel unsure about that, you can always come and ask us. We're not shy about sharing our feelings and experiences!:hearye: Welcome to the family - :peaceful: Genny [/QUOTE]
