<p>Addict issues aside (although I agree there are plenty of warning lights here), a bigger issue here is a also life lesson to be learned about consequences of behavior.</p>
<p>Fact 1: Your daughter engaged in behavior that was against school (and probably state) rules. She did this multiple times.</p>
<p>Fact 2: Your daughter chose to go this school and when signing the enrollment agreement, she agreed to live by the rules of the school and accept the discipline handed out by the school for violating the school rules. Her failure to understand this is not the fault of the school.</p>
<p>Fact 3: You are not responsible for her failure to comply with the rules of the school. She is now an adult. You are not legally required to be funding her rehab. You did not sign her papers to enroll. If she has to take additional loans to complete rehab as required by the school, it should be upon her to do so if she wishes to continue at that school. </p>
<p>If I read your original post, you were complaining about the cost of therapy sessions ($150). By paying for these sessions, you are taking away the punishment for breaking school rules. What are you teaching her. That you can break the rules mommy doesn’t agree with and she will cover your backside when doing so? How is that going to make her a responsible adult? </p>
<p>Now if neither of you have the financial wherewithal to pay the price for her transgression, I would suggest that your daughter talk to the school about finding a publically subsidized rehab program that is acceptable to them. If the school is inflexible in this regard, and the money isn’t there, perhaps the punishment of having to withdraw will demonstrate a life lesson (don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time) better learned here than in the criminal court system after failing to follow rules in the greater society.</p>
<p>While the rest of us reach out with an open hand to try to engage you so you can understand the bigger picture with regards to your daughter’s behavior, you continue to shout back and shake your closed fist at us looking for an easy out.</p>
<p>Open your fist and perhaps the anger you have will be comforted by those who understand and sympathize.</p>
