[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 673604, member: 19522"] Thank you GN, for the info. I think this is where my two are at. They need the high, just to function. I am not sure if they have even attempted to quit. It is very complicated. I have watched many informational documentaries. I have not known people who have been heroin users. I know former cocaine and pot users. My eldest is on meth, I do not know what else. #3 was introduced to crack, and is a daily pot smoker. They both deny using. They both have horrible mood swings. #1 seems depressed whenever I see her. #3, has fits of rage. I do see them as people, of course. Yet, they are not the daughters I remember. The drugs have altered them, for sure. My #3, in a moment of openness told me 'Mom, I know people who use ice and are able to function, they work and it doesn't control them, not all people who use drugs are bad." I said that I knew that, but that drug use and addiction, drives good people to do bad things. Yes, this is true. I have wondered if this "boyfriend" my daughter speaks of, that she cannot get away from, is really a pimp. That is the only thing I can think. She came to me disheveled and hurt, but refused help, did not want me to call 911, and would not go to a DV shelter. My hubs had picked her up from the hospital months back, she had been hit on her head with a bat. Needed stitches. I asked her if it was the same guy that did that to her. She said,"He found me, he will always find me." Then she said "This is what happens when I try to leave." I am stumped. Yes, removed from the equation. It is hard, but necessary, because, she has brought her street friends over the house. I am not a judgmental person, but these "friends" you could tell they had been "around the block" a few times, street hard, you know? I told my daughter, I did not want these folks around. It is true, this is a danger for us. These people are my daughters family, she has pretty much announced that with her behavior. She will show up from time to time. Things will go missing around the yard and house. We are not people to her, we are an opportunity. For both my girls, we have become things. Thank you GN, for caring and sharing (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
