Dakota, a furlough is a day out of the rehab center. They have to have a sponsor who is cleared with the Dept. of Corrections and their rehab counselor who signs them out for the day. The deal is that the sponsor has to take them to their home and monitor their activities.....no going anywhere else, no phone calls, no unsanctioned substances, etc., etc., etc.
I can not do that. I will not do that. My clean, calm, quiet home is the LAST place I would want him to be.
Sometimes I feel like I am turning my back on him, too......but then I just have to read the above.
