[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 71751, member: 1967"] Welcome to our world. I have a 22 year old daughter who also went through a period of time when our lives were a lot like yours. in my opinion, your daughter's behavior is way past typical teen (typical teen) stuff. She is openly using drugs and doesn't seem to care if she gets caught. I think it will only get worse unless you do something and do it now. In my case, my husband and I didn't know for sure that my difficult child was doing drugs until she was past the age where we could send her to a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or EGBS (emotional growth boarding school). If I were you, I would look into a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and do it fast. She needs help that I don't think you can give her (not for lack of trying or love ~ the lure of friends and drugs is just to strong to combat). We finally had to resort to throwing our daughter out of our house (at 19 and then again at 21) and thankfully she seems to be finally "getting it." But I wish we could have taken action earlier and saved her and us the hellacious years. Good luck and welcome to the board. Check out the Teen and Substance Forum, too. There are many other parents there with experience of dealing with teens and drugs. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
