Public Aid
WOW! Yesterday we had a family session with my daughter and found out she is suppose to be discharged from her inpatient facility right into a halfway house on the grounds on Tuesday. We told her we will help her and suppport her as long as she is helping herself, we don't feel she is doing so and neither do her counselors. We feel she is only playing the game to get some charges reduced. She will be at the halfway house for atleast 3 to 6 months maybe more. I'm not sure she will be able to play the game that long. She was filled with so much anger towards us yesterday when we told her our boundries, mostly about money. She told us she found out while in there that she heard she could apply for public aid, does anyone know if this is true. She is in Illinois. She has no kids, just thinks she wants to be independent. I don't think that is being very independent. I am so angry, in the past when she has gotten clean, 2 times for about 6 months each time she has looked at things realistically. This time she is way out there, I guess that's why no one is believing her this time. It just makes me so angry that she thinks everyone should support her so she can live alone. Just need to vent. Thanks for listening!
