[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 284029, member: 1550"] HI and welcome, but sorry you had to be here. Haha, tongue piercing. My daughter, at one time, had a hundred ear piercings, an eyebrow piercing, a lip piercing (gross!) ANd a tongue piercing. Although she has been straight for seven years, she still has the tongue piercing..lol. I would put the piercings on the back burner as insignificant in light of the other stuff. I suggest posting on "Teen and Substance Abuse" too because a lot of parents in General haven't gotten to the older kids phase yet, although some of us have. My guess is your daughter is using more drugs than you think. Mine did--trust me, I had no clue how much she used. My own daughter reacted poorly to my divorce and remarriage--I have no idea if this is part of her escalation or drug use, but it was with my daughter. Good heavens, I would NOT send her out of the country in the shape she's in! I'd be scared to death. in my opinion that's not good advice. NOBODY will be keeping an eye on her! My daughter did grow out of her wish to use drugs but we had to send her far away (to her dad's in another state) so that she could get away from her "friends" who kept pushing her to keep using drugs when she quit (she was not capable of saying "no" when she was pushed too hard). From my experience, your daughter, being 16, will probably need to WANT to get help for help to work. If you want to get her off the streets, get her into an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) program. I'm not sure she can be put there against her will, but I'd try. It may not cure her behavior, but maybe it will help and you and your new hub will have a break from the worry and so will ex. You may be able to get state money for this, but I'm not sure how. Several here have done it and know how. Once they are 18, they are on their own completely and you can't help them if they refuse help. (((Hugs))). Others will come along. [/QUOTE]
