[QUOTE="SadFlower, post: 671932, member: 19741"] Thank you all so much. When I feel like I'm going to explode... writing about this mess and reading your responses grounds me. My fear about calling the police is that they would find her with drugs/alcohol, and then she'll have a record for the rest of her life. I really hope she'll be able to make it out of this situation in one piece. I called the resource officer (they have an emergency number for the weekend) because she was gone again. He calmed me down (I was a bit hysterical when we talked) and said that he can build a behavior management program for her that will hopefully put her back on track. He also said that he can give me referrals to a therapist who specializes in adopted children, a support group for parents, and a group for adopted teens. I really think the adoption is the main issue here. She hates being adopted. She told me in the past that she really wishes we just left her with her birth mother (completely ignoring the fact that the birth mother abandoned her at an orphanage when she was 3 months old, that considering her lifestyle she had no business raising a child, and that kids in Kazakhstan get kicked out of the orphanage system at 16 with minimal education and end up on the streets as drug addicts and/or prostitutes). He also asked me some questions about the pill and said that it's most likely MDMA. I read up on that and I can't believe she's put herself in that much risk. People have died using this drug!! I am a bit more hopeful than I was before. Maybe we're finally getting on the right track. Again, thank you all for your support!! [/QUOTE]
