Busy I truly understand. I don’t think anyone can understand what we have gone through unless they have been there. I remember saying something similar at a meetup we had with members many years ago and got gasps from some. Your truth is your truth and we must have a safe place to verbalize...

Thanks Esther. It’s soooo nice to see you. I’m sorry your son is still struggling. And I know what you mean, it took me years to be able to look back and remember those dreadful times. I have thought about you and your son often during these years and wishing you well. I hope you feel that.

Hi to all the wonderful warrior parents here. I first came to this board in 1998 when my daughter was 7 and I was desperately looking for help. This board saved my sanity many times, kept me company late into the night as I waited for my daughter to come home, and gave me friendship, comfort and...

I’ll give a full update ASAP. I knew you met Kris.

Hi Nomad. This is Nancy. It’s been so long. I just read through your posts. These stories are all so familiar to me, as you know. I was thinking of you the other day because it was Kris’s birthday.

We had the same problem and had to pay out of pocket for an additional 30 days. We found out later that the program had a scholarship program that the residents could apply for, need based. We would not have qualified but you should ask if they have such a program.

She ended up relapsing, as we knew she probably would. I don't blame it on that evening since if it wasn't that day it would be another. It was the fact that my sister did not respect the situation. If it had been someone in her family I would have done whatever I could to support them. When I...

This thread was interesting to read. My father was an alcoholic. Lived to 95 but caused a lot of dysfunction in the family. About 7 years ago when my daughter was released from rehab I asked him not to have alochol at our christmas eve get together. My sister refused to honor that and brought...

They have been prosecuting in our state also.

It's difficult to know where to draw the line isn't it? Mental issues are so tough to deal with. It seems like she needs more community supports than they are willing to give her....or you. Her background is complicated. She is lucky to have you in her life.

I'm so happy that things have settled down. You are right to be cautiously optimistic. Once we have been through what we have it's hard to put that all behind us and forget. I wonder if he was doing other drugs back then that could have caused some of the abusive behavior and now he is just...

SWOT I am afraid I did not make myself clear. I really have no desire to coordinate this since I have already done one. I am perfectly happy to have someone else do the planning lol. I just meant since cleveland was mentioned several times that if that was the city decided I could help...

I am in Cleveland where we had it several years ago. My preference would be to go somewhere else, not that I don't like my own city but it would be fun to check out another city. However if that is most central for most I would be happy to coordinate it again.

In all fairness this has been a very very unusual summer. :cool-very::sunny::beach::beach_ball::swimming:

It was 92 in Cleveland yesterday Kathy!

It's a little over 9 hours for me. I would try to make it.

Thank you for the update. I am very sorry to hear all of this sorrow. I pray her suffering will be over and she will be at peace. This is so very sad and hard to wrap my head around.

I am very sorry to have to tell you that Abbey has passed away. She was a previous owner of this board, prior to Fran. She had cancer. I was a moderator for her many years ago on this board and became friends with her even though we never met. She inspired me so with her strength and sense of...

When we had it in Cleveland I booked a block of rooms at a hotel near the airport and scheduled a dinner in one of their large conference rooms. We planned several activities, Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, Zoo, can't remember the rest, and everyone chose what they wanted to do. We had a lovely time.

I loved meeting you in Cleveland too KTMom!
