[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 531475, member: 1967"] easy child is taking the dogs to her house so that is not a concern. She won't stay here with difficult child and I don't want to put that on her. It is not her responsiblity to babysit her sister. I guess my concern is two-fold. One is that she did run up big bills while we were gone with the water and the electricity. She also stole checks and forged one to fund her drinking binge. The other is that she will relapse big time. The addiction counselor said that having boundaries is important in addiction and that it was not surprising that difficult child went off the deep end last summer while we were gone. I am afraid of it happening again. As far as going off the rails being a predictor of what would happen nine months from now . . . difficult child is only now really starting to get into the DBT program. She has been seeing a DBT counselor for one hour sessions up to now but had to wait until a new module was starting to be able to start the group therapy component. They told us that we should start to see changes after two to three months so I don't want to derail things at this point before the therapy really starts. I hope that makes sense. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
