[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 681340, member: 19522"] Article below on shopping addiction. It can be as bad as substance abuse. [URL]http://www.healthline.com/health/addiction/shopping#Overview1[/URL] $2000, bags and $1000 shoes can spend down $18,000, real quick. I can imagine her thinking that she would replace the money before you noticed it was gone, or something like that. The point is, addiction drives the person. No excuses, but it is true, addicts are not in control of themselves. They need help to get a handle on their problem. I am glad your daughter is getting help, and you are considering counseling Devastated. There is always hope. Always. You are going through what most of us has been through, a grieving process. Grieving and all of its stages, except our children did not die, they chose paths that are very contrary to what we have imagined for them. To grieve like this and still be faced with interaction with our loved one is very hard indeed. You will get through this Devastated. It is all so new and shocking to you, it takes time to work through the feelings. You will get through, it is a bumpy road for awhile full of twists and turns, but you will get through. Keep posting, we are right here with you. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
