[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 328985, member: 1550"] Hi, Bean. I hope you are having a nice Christmas. When my daughter used drugs, I did not give her money. No allowance. No help for bills. Nothing. She worked for money. I didn't want to think that maybe my money killed her, if she had an overdose. I didn't feel badly about not giving her money. She got things like clothes from us, nothing expensive. If she would have whined about it I would have reminded her that she can earn our trust back and that we are here for her if she wants to seriously try to stop using drugs. But until then, we couldn't trust her with money, even though we wished we could. I hope this year brings your daughter and the rest of your family some healing. Try not to feel like a bad guy. We still love our drug using children as much as our other ones, but in my opinion we do have to treat them differently. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
