[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 158809, member: 3647"] Hi and welcome to the board. Have a seat and a cup of tea. This is where parenting hurts the most. Put her out. It's called tough love and detaching. Be allowing her to stay in your home, you are enabling her behavior. Stealing, lying, etc... all symptoms of drug addiction. You are right when you say that therapy will do no good if she is not willing. Likewise, she will never get help for herself until and unless she is ready. If her boyfriend dying didn't wake her up, perhaps she needs a bigger reality check. If you put her out, she will find somewhere to go. It's spring, she has friends. Addicts are very resourceful (VERY). When life on the streets gets too tough for her, she will realize that this is no kind of life. Get yourself to an AlAnon meeting as well. So glad you found us; so sorry that you had to. Hugs; this is not easy. [/QUOTE]
