[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 429182, member: 1550"] Well, I know it's a tough call, but I had the drug user and the soft approach didn't do anything. She just lied about it and I felt guilty accusing her of doing it. Yet she was. Obviously something big has changed with your easy child...and I would search her room when she isn't home to see if there are any signs of drug use. Heck, I'd even read her diary. When they start getting into trouble, they could get hurt...that's when privacy becomes moot. We have to do whatever we need to do to try to help them and make them safe. The earlier you catch it, if it IS drugs, the better chance you have of stopping it. Trust me, if that's what it is, it only gets worse...There is no place in parenting for those who are afraid of their own kids. We just can't be. And, no, it's not easy to be bold when our kids know how to stab us in the hearts. Here are the signs of a child who is using drugs. Pay attention to it. Wish we had. It went on too long before I, in particular, would admit it. [url]http://parentingteens.about.com/cs/drugsofabuse/a/driug_abuse20.htm[/url] Please take care. [/QUOTE]
