[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 673837, member: 59"] I think your plan is good. My daughter often said she did not know why she acted the way she did, and that was long before any drug or alcohol use began. She would write me notes and say she was sorry and she wanted to change. But she couldn't, it was like something inside her was holding her back. Years ago when she had a group of schoolmates for a sleepover, one of the girls brought vodka in a water bottle. I was supervising them constantly but somehow her and another girl drank the vodka and got very drunk. I overheard her say that the only time she felt normal was when she drank. That scared the bejebbers out of me. I knew she felt differently because she was adopted and then this, a recipe for disaster. She ended up in the ER for alcohol poisoning. Soon after that she told me she wished I had never told her she was adopted. That made me very sad. I thought I was doing all the right things. I realized then that she had a hole in her heart that I could not fill. I hope your daughter someday realizes how much you love her. Mine did. We have a great relationship now and she often comments about what a terror she was. [/QUOTE]
