[QUOTE="Star*, post: 472398, member: 4964"] I really like Nancy's idea of the gas card so that you wouldn't have to see her and get drawn in by any more emotional drama of the day. For us that wouldn't have ever worked because the card would have "SOMEHOW" gotten lost or "OMG someone stole it and I really need help to succeed." Square one - even if the lesson was stated - be responsible for your gas card. With Dude there was ALLLLLLLLLLWAYS a "bad guy" out to "Get him" and RUIN his "success" no matter "how hard he tried" - it got old quick. I would also wonder how far away she's willing to be sent for her sobriety? I don't know about where you are, but there are neighboring states that she could drive to for help if she asked a counselor for availability? Medicaid could still cover that I think......(just pondering that option) There is a place I believe in Augusta, GA - if it's still there. Not sure if they've gone outpatient or not at this point but if she's serious about getting clean and sober? Why not explore a little farther out? Guilty feelings? OMWord woman! These kids put us through Hades on Earth and when we can grab our moments of peace in knowing they are SAFE, not on the street - being fed, not on drugs, or drinking, not in jail...not doing stupid, moronic things - and we can have a day, a week or a little bit longer of that time? Joy to the world! I can't see feeling badly about the tension, nerves and bodily funcitons going South when they're freed and back out like that guy on the Allstate commercials - what's his name.......Mayhem? Somedays my own flesh and blood makes me feel like an uninsured motorist driving on ballon thin wheels over a broken glass highway - shoeless. Anyway - You're doing great Warrior Mom......Hang tough - (hands gloves for the rope) Be good to yourself. Hugs [/QUOTE]
