Vicky,

Thanks for taking the time to type out such a thoughtful response. Some of the issues you brought up are ones that I have worried about in secret.

I "freaked out" when she tried to kill herself. I know some people aren't religious, but I had this voice that spoke to me, very calm, and it said "get her help, now. Don't allow her to return to her home, not even for a minute". A month after she was there, we discovered she was pregnant. I don't think any of this is coincidence.

Yes, she was forced in to rehab. I took the power of attorney there, and me, her sister, and her mother, sat down with the case worker, and I explained to her she had no alternative-remember the Dr. agreed to keep her there. As pitiful as it may sound, she said she would have agreed to do anything because she had already been in the psych ward for a week w no smokes. We told her that if she walked out of the rehab (which she has done before) no one would be giving her a place to stay.

The man she was involved with has made NO attempts to contact her, and rumor has it he is seeing someone else. She has no outlet.

The rehab is christian based, and they just opened a home for mothers and children. Almost all the ladies there that I can think of are court mandated, except for one other.

We come from a small rural town, and we are as middle class as they come. She is with some really rough criminal girls. I think it has been a shock for her in that aspect.

I don't know if any of the counselors there are accredited. I do know they have a child psychologist who sees the children, and a licensed dietician. I would say about 90% of the employees there are former residents in the program.

I wanted no part of the money situation to begin with, but stepped in when I realized she would have NOTHING if I didn't. I was going to turn the money over to the rehab, but she says that other client's who have been there say that servicing fees were deducted from their funds (like jail), and they were strongly encouraged to donate to programs the rehab has going on. I don't know how to ask about this. They have a reputation in the community for being cult-like, but I have attended their church, and support meetings, and I agree with almost EVERYTHING they say.

She works a 20 hr per week job in their daycare for them, and they deduct 20% of her check for meals and lodging (I think this is acceptable)
