Jenny's getting out of rehab on Monday. God, I hope it helped her. I think she should stay longer, but she claims she'll committ herself to intensive outpatient treatment, so I really hope she sticks to that.

I never took Evan to see her, so of course she'll be coming here first. Hopefully that goes smoothly. Justin is picking her up and he's going to bring her over, so luckily he'll be here as well. Jenny wanted Evan to just go sleep over at her house, but I'm not willing to let that happen just yet. Maybe I'm wrong for that, but oh well. I want to wait a little while until she's a bit more stable before I let her take him overnight. I know that Justin is there, and that everything would be fine...but for some reason I am just not comfortable with the idea of her taking him for the night yet. I know I wouldn't like it if it were the other way around, but I think that's how things need to be right now.

Annie isn't exactly thrilled about the fact that Jenny is leaving rehab. I think she's afraid that my relationship with Jenny will go back to how it was, and that we'll talk all the time, etc. That's not how it's going to be though. I don't even have the desire to be close with Jenny again. Definite boundaries will be set up, and our contact will continue to be limited.

You sound so strong at the moment. It's lovely to hear it (or read it,but you know what I mean).

boundaries, and letting her settle into her IOP (intensive outpt) before she sees Evan is a fab idea

I'm letting her see him when whe gets out, but I'm not letting her take him yet. There will definitely be boundaries though.

I can understand that you don´t want to let her take Evan with her. I wouldn´t either. She´s just out of rehab and I would be afraid it would be way too much for her to have Evan over night. And it´s not that you don´t let her see him at all.
I really hope Jenny will have that outpatient treatment... I would have expected she would be in rehab longer to be honest. It seems to be a very short time. So I wish her the strength she needs now.

You sound really strong at the moment, content and balanced. That´s great! =)

Yeah, I think she should have stayed longer, but oh well. At least she went. It could be too much for her, like you said. She has her daughter to take care of as it is, although I'm sure Justin is probably going to be the one taking care of her for a while. I'm just not comfortable with letting her take him for the night yet. I want to wait a while and make sure she stays on track and continues to get better.
