A Difficult Day

Hello Everyone,

Quick update on our AD. Three months ago we had to kick her out of the house. Since then, she lost five jobs, got kicked out of her apartment, moved in with friends, stole from them, moved to Hawaii to "get her life back on track" which she didn't... stole some more, flew home last Wednesday and wasn't one hour off the plane before she was plotting to buy drugs. She got as far as sitting in a van with a drug dealer when she was caught, agreed to go to detox, and today she gets out and is begging and pleading to come home. The rehab we/she had hoped to get into... turns out is not in our insurance network and her social worker has not been much help so we are scrambling to try and help her find other options. It feels like a mess and I am telling myself "Do not let her come home. Stay the course. So what if she says she means it this time." And on and on. Has anyone ever let their addict child come home after detox? Has anyone NOT? I just need to hear your stories.... Please.

Needing strength and guidance in this hour.
