[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 679854, member: 59"] Hi Pigless, I have to honestly say I don't think there is anything I would have said different. We did all the things that one would think should be done to keep your kid off drugs/alcohol. We got her involved in every conceivable activity, softball, swimming, guitar lessons, clarinet, band, color guard, girl scouts, gymnastics, chess club, I'm sure there are more. We talked about alcohol and drug use and her inherited background any my own inherited background. She had the Dare program in school, went to a private elementary school, went to church every Sunday, dad coached her softball team for years, was a stay at home mom, supervised her activities. Nothing could stop the inevitable. Her genetics would trump anything we could say or do. I saw it in my own family. In the end she followed the same footsteps as her birth mother. Nothing we did could prevent that from happening. I think it would have been worse had we not been in her life, but in the end it was almost as if it was predetermined. Our best hope is that the end result will be different, that our intervention will allow a better outcome. [/QUOTE]
