I know that you want her to finish college. Just be careful that you don't let your dreams get in the way of her recovery. My daughter held college over my head a few times. She knew how important it was to me. Too bad it was not as important to her. Focus on one day at a time. If she breaks your rules then maybe consider that she needs to live elsewhere (even if that means that college may not be possible for her now). I know that the harder we try to keep them in that nice little dream that we have for them, the more enmeshed we become and the crazier too. Your daughter is going to do what she wants to do. Only she can stop the digging and find a way out of the hole that SHE created. Sending prayers because I truly hope it works out for her. Hugs, Marle
