[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 396423"] Well I picked her up on the premise she would be on her best behavior while here and that when they called that the rehab was ready, she either go or go back to living the way she was. She looked good - thank heavens. She is still not pale and grey and I made sure to check her pupils and they were not large (note to parents, big pupils are a sign of meth). Maybe she is clean, but a year would do her good regardless. I told her to think of it as a vacation - a year where it is all about you. She is still threw a little of a hissy that it is that long, but it is that or homelessness. (Well, she hasn't had it that bad, somehow she was staying in hotels for the past week.) I told her she certainly didn't [I]have[/I] to go. No one was forcing her. But if she chose not to, she wouldn't be living here. I am standing firm. This would be the best thing for her. And she will be 18 when she gets out - a great way to begin the rest of your life. She was concerned she would go and not be living here after because we said she was out at 18, but we told her if she takes the time, completes the program and comes back here ready to do something with her life that she could live here and we would support that. We have an appointment on Thursday morning to go fill out the paperwork. I do believe the program is funded with state funds, so I don't think we have to come out of pocket for anything. He had explained to me before that there was scholarship money that pays for it. If she goes through with this, it will be one heck of a Christmas present to not only us, but to herself. [/QUOTE]
