Don't know how my daughters recovery will play out, but 1 month after she turned 18 we asked her to leave, She has done some horrible things to herself in those 8 months.I kept telling her we love you and will help you when you want to get clean.She tried on her own and progressed to shooting up. She was sholess, filthy, had bronchitis and a horrible UTI when she said she was done and we took her to a hospital. She has now chosen to go to a different town to a sober living environment when her 30 days of rehab is up. Time will tell, but I sooo listened to Impurrrfect and went on with my life.I wanted her to have a model of what a (Quasi) healthy person looks like and a safe (not crazy) place for her to go for help when she was ready. No guarantees on how this, or your situation will work out, but I had NO CONTROL over her anyway and the best thing I ever did was LET HER GO.
