[QUOTE="klmno, post: 409572, member: 3699"] Nancy, I know this isn't the direction you wanted things to go, but I don't think that was an option when she called you earlier this week. I think the choices were "go home and sneak and use until I (she) can find someplace else to go or you two give in and tolerate even more" vs "don't go home, find someplace else now or not, get worse either way". You had no control over those choices. You did have input into which one was made available. You aren't sending her to worse- you are allowing her to hit bottom instead of prolonging the agony for everyone involved. Just remember - the option wasn't for you to either help her and she'll turn into a drug-free easy child or not help her and she'll ruin her life. And you didn't create the options. It's somehwat that way when they are really young kids, but not by the time they are teens or older. [/QUOTE]
