[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 638648, member: 1967"] Calamity, you nailed it. The therapist had sent us an email saying that she thought difficult child might be better off back in metro Atlanta since there was very little down there for homeless people. She said that she had told difficult child that needed extended mental health treatment and difficult child agreed. So husband and I were falling for it and even looked at some possible places up here that difficult child could go. We are standing hard and fast that she can't come back here to live and that she would have to go straight into some kind of program. The therapist even sent us a link to one that turned out to be $6000 a month. Been there and done that and not going to do it again. But there is a highly recommended program that is 6 months to 2 years long for $600 a month and the clients are expected to get a job and pay for most of it. So husband called difficult child to talk to her about it and difficult child was angry that husband even mentioned a place like that. She said that she is absolutely not going into residential program. She planned to stay at our house for "a while" and would only consider an IOP. Well, that told us that difficult child is certainly not desperate. I would think that if she was living on the streets she would jump at any chance for a roof over her head. husband told her that she should email if she decided she wanted us to help her find a program and she told husband that he shouldn't look for that email. So I think that she conned the therapist and was doing her usual manipulation to try to get us to let her move back in here. I called my therapist and talked to her about it and she agreed that difficult child was up to her usual tricks. She also said that she wondered if the therapist down there was trying to hand difficult child off to us since she is not getting paid to treat her anymore. I hadn't thought of that but it certainly does seem strange that she did a 180 from telling us that we shouldn't be helping difficult child anymore to telling us that she thought difficult child might have more options up here.
