[QUOTE="busywend, post: 460487, member: 391"] She is telling you by ignoring it that she does not want your help. So, don't help her. Stop checking her phone records and wondering who she is talking to. My difficult child who has never even tried drugs is up all hours of the night. Good people are up late, too. Different life styles and job hours usually. The one thing my difficult child said to me that stopped me in my tracks was this: "Stop trying to change me and let me be who I want to be." I had not realized I was trying to 'change' her. I loved her as she was. I did not think she was making the best choices and felt I needed to still teach her 'parent her'. But, she did not want or need that as I have come to learn. So, let her be herself and see where that takes her. [/QUOTE]
