[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 762401, member: 18958"] Dear ksm I don't think you should tell her. I can't say why I think that, but I do. But that doesn't mean you should do nothing. I think you should tell her that to stay in your house she needs to test and go to treatment, preferably residential, and after that day treatment, ongoing. I know you can't force somebody to stop drugs but you can set limits in your own home. I don't think it lessens the problem that she is using away from you. I recognize that you are concerned for the baby. But the baby is in limbo as long as she is a meth user and unable or unwilling to assume responsibility for him. As long as this is the status quo she is un-equipped to raise him. He needs to be protected. To answer your question, I forced my son to test, as a prerequisite to be housed. But I was never ever able to force change. The difference here I think is that there is a baby involved. [/QUOTE]
