[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 581948, member: 1550"] This post would probably do better on substance abuse. Most here are dealing with kids younger than 18 so they have more legal options yet can't yet insist that the grown child possibly leave the home. Welcome to the board, by the way. No doubt she is using drugs if she is stealing. It is the landmark behavior that points to it. She may have kicked cocaine, but she is using other drugs and at her age there is no way I'd pay anything for her except possibly an inpatient stay at a rehab. Even if she denies it, she is a drug addict. I had one like her. The money kept on disappearing to buy the drugs, legal or illegal. As you are finding out, not all drugs show up on drug tests and the users know which ones do a nd which ones don't. Have you considered making her leave the house or calling the police on her? I would do both. I did call the cops on my daughter and she was younger than yours in an attempt to maybe get her help or get her services to quit plus SHE CAN NOT STEAL or she will eventually move on to others and end up in jail. I don't buy for a minute that your daughter didn't know what she did. Drug addicts are very manipulative. My daughter actually DID quit and her mantra is: "Never trust a drug addict. They'll look straight into your eyes and lie." by the way, I don't think it's fair to drag fifteen year old daughter into it. She isn't the one doing it. Why ask her? It's insulting to a good k id to drag her into it just because your older daughter's feelings may be hurt if she is the only one you ask. Frankly, in my opinion she is a bad influence on Younger Daughter. That is one reason we asked our daughter to leave when she turned eighteen. We had two younger kids to think about. [/QUOTE]
