[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 567676"] Hmmm I think I have a slightly different take... so your daughter is 20 so is beyond the teenage years of just adolescent posturing... of course many of our kids are immature but then that is a problem in itself. It seems to me that either she has some mental health problems, causing her to create such extreme drama that she is lying about a substance abuse problem or she actually does have a substance abuse problem and is in denial about it to you and maybe to herself. Many of our addicts here deny they have a problem... and I certainly think time in rehab can enhance this feeling where they probably meet people with a more serious substance abuse problem then they have. So the fact she is in treatment is a good thing and hopefully they can help her figure out if she is getting the right kind of treatment for whatever is going on with her. TL [/QUOTE]
