[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 680417, member: 19905"] My daughter was always difficult and rebellious, so for me, there was no "sudden change out of nowhere" that was a shock. For me, it was finding out she was so much worse (drugs) than I would have ever guessed. It was also a shock to see her become a different person because of drugs. Addiction changes people, their personalities, their attitudes, their behaviors, their morals...EVERYTHING. They literally become different people than they were. And it doesn't matter what kind of addiction - drugs, alcohol, gambling... If your daughter has a shopping addiction, it will literally change her right before your eyes. Many addicts think in the beginning that they can "control it." When it controls them, they will do anything, hurt anyone, to get the "fix." People with shopping addictions get that kind of "rush" that someone with drugs gets when they get high. I don't know that this is what caused her to lie and steal from you, but you don't believe it is drugs. From all the high end merchandise, it sounds like she may have an addiction of another sort.
