update
Hi, it's tom. I just wanted to let you know how things are going. My girlfriend, Tina, is doing better. She's still afraid to really open up to the counselors there but she did find this one woman who she is starting to trust more. Her dad got bailed out by one of his "girlfriends" and he's been looking for Tina. Luckily he's not allowed to know where she is and if he comes near me again he'll be locked up again. She is really doing good though. She's starting to gain a little weight and she seems helthier to me. Sometimes she seems like she's in a lot of pain but they said that that's just the withdrawals and that it is a sign that she is starting to get a little better. They said that soon the withdrawals will stop but she may have flash backs every once in a while from the acid. All in all things are getting better. The hearing is in a couple weeks and hopefully she gets up the courage to talk to the therapist that she is starting to trust now. The woman, Linda, is extremely nice and she gives me updates every week on how she's doing. I'm only allowed to see her once a week but I think that it's better that way for now. She's starting to open up to the right person and I think that if I was seeing her everyday still she would be depending on me. Like you said I would be a crutch for her.
Thank you so much for all of your help.
Tom

Tom, I am so glad to know that things are going better for you and Tina. I think she is going to make it, and she has you to thank for getting her to this point so she can begin to heal. I am proud of you. I am glad that she has found someone in the rehab that she feels she can trust. And it is good that they are keeping you posted. Consider that a gift, because they don't have to. Don't do anything to alarm them, because then they will cut you off from her. If they feel you are not contributing to her rehabilitation. So follow their rules, the rules are there for a reason, even though they seem harsh. I really hope her dad gets what is coming to him. I hope you and she can get away from him for good.
If you don't mind, I would like to know how things went at the hearing. The people at the rehab will help prepare her to testify, but they won't paint a pretty picture for her, they will tell her like it is, but convince her that she is strong enough. I hope all goes well.
Thanks for keeping me posted. And I was glad to help you. Take care.
