[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PPs saying that it is rude and disrespectful to ask for money are forgetting something. The world doesn't stop spinning because you are "working on sobriety". Most rehabs charge money. Part of being a functional adult is paying rent or a mortgage and supporting yourself. This should not throw her into relapse and if it does, she needs to grow up. [/quote] Addiction changes your brain chemistry to the point that you basically stop emotionally growing once you start using. So if she started using at, say 16, you're basically living with a teenager right now. Telling her to "grow up" isn't really helpful. If you don't need the money, then drop it at least for the next six months or so. She may be out of rehab, but a month or two of sobriety is still very early in the process.[/quote]
