[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 765485, member: 22840"] It seems to me she's just too used to living in the world she lives in. I wonder how many twists and turns it takes in her head to normalize the way she lives. And how many more to try to normalize what the affect of her drug use, with all that comes with it, has on her family. It's as if she's saying you are making a choice not to bother with her because she dresses differently or something. I don't know. It seems wherever she is in the moment is where she goes. Like she has no inner life. In jail she's going to straighten up her life. In rehab she's going to stay sober. Until someone comes along that can give her an excuse to go back on the streets. I don't think those expensive rehabs are all that great, only their marketing. A family member of mine used one, the reality was he was placed in a dump with a bunch of other people with very little supervision. I think a very wise choice. You just have not one ounce of control here. All you can do is pray that in someway, somehow, she figures out she actually can control herself and her life to make it better. For you, I'm banking on you leaning on your other family relationships, your interests and God as you experience him hold you up, lift you up, and give you peace as you so much deserve. [/QUOTE]
