[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 609324, member: 1550"] My daughter was busted twice for pot, although she was doing much more dangerous drugs too (never got caught for them). She was just given probation and it didn't change her behavior one bit. Maybe, because your daughter is older, she'll get some jail time and some serious help. But if she doesn't want the help, if it's offered, she isn't going to get seriously clean. The terrible part of being the parent of an adult child is that we can't save them anymore. They have to decide to change in order to change. My daughter snowed several counselors. It wasn't until SHE decided to stop using drugs that it happened and, in her case, she did it on her own. But it had to be HER time, HER way, HER decision. I'm so sorry you are going through this. Try to focus on yourself now and taking good care of YOU. You can not help your daughter at her age. And only she can decide to change and do it. Detachment is a really good skill to learn. Hugs and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
