Anyway, just as she's being picked up to go, she says she needs $50 for the internet at the place. I say I gotta think on it - then she says how about $20...hmmm. then she texts to say the internet requires a credit card. I just don't respond.
Thank goodness you didn't jump right in on this one, it's got red flags all over it.
You have learned well. This new place may be no nirvana but it's a good place where she can get help and has much more to offer her than you (or I or any one of us who feel "we" must be the answer) ever could.
She will do well or she will continue to make bad choices. Either way you have given up your front row seat to the insanity.
Keeping her in my prayers, she just might find real help here...we can only hope, yes?
