[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 745122, member: 15032"] Missy what you are doing is very kind. I do think it's critical that you stand by your word and move her out after the ten days though. I remember so many times when my son would be on the right track and then he'd mess up and I would be devastated. He'd do well for three months or so and we'd feel he was "going to be okay this time" and then BAM, he'd start up again. Now that I am in a different place and more importantly, HE is in a different place, I SEE that addiction is a disease. If we do not treat it like the disease that it is, it will NEVER go away. If I had known that then, I would not have gotten my hopes up again and again. I remember a constant state of not knowing if I should intervene, how to intervene and would it make a difference? Would it make it better? Would it make it worse? Could I really have any influence on what the outcome would be?? This was on replay in my brain and it was exhausting. I don't have the answer but I do know you/we cannot wait until THEY are ready. Thankfully we were in a position to force change. [/QUOTE]
