[QUOTE="beyondthecliff, post: 736668, member: 22982"] Hi Everyone - I could be reading my own story among these posts. It is heart-breaking, tragic, and just an absolute nightmare. We have tried everything you can imagine to help our 18yrDD. Her problems began I would say about 9-10 - moody and so on. I put it down to puberty, but around 12-13 things got much worse. It's been years of struggle since. About 2 months ago we discovered she was smoking opioids. We have tried every therapy you can think of, every service available, every medication. She lies, steals, cheats, has no motivation, is sullen and it has impacted the entire family. She has left and come back twice. The second time there were some very strict conditions put in place - most importantly that she needed to help herself and be proactive in her health. We left today to grab a soda./We were gone maybe 15 minutes, in which time she stole money, prescription medications, and disappeared. Tonight - about 10 hours later - she swans in as if nothing has happened. I am certain she was high. I said enough is enough so she stormed out. <sigh> It is destroying the family. I feel your pain - this is a horrible disease, one that eats up everyone in its wake. [/QUOTE]
