[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 616067, member: 1550"] I am going to suggest that you post on "Substance Abuse" where everyone is or was at one time dealing with the same exact issues. I am also guessing that most there, including me, would urge you to keep her in treatment. You can't do as much as they can and you don't really know for sure how deep into drugs she is. My daughter fooled us for a long time. Once she quit, she informed us, to our shock, that she had been using meth, psychedelics, and had even tried heroin. We had thought we were dealing with pot and a little alcohol. Drug users are sneaky. My now sober daughter would definitely advise the same. She would caution, however, that until your daughter WANTS to quit, she will not quit. You need to give her incentive and that does not mean wrapping her in cotton and giving her the good life. Tough life is far more effective in making them think over the results of their poor choices. If your daughter's behavior is escalating, you really need to swallow the pain and step up. You only have until she is eighteen to do anything to help her. After that, she can disregard anything you say and decide to get no help at all. And many of our kids have done just that. Stop the bleeding!!!! Hugs for your hurting mommy heart. [/QUOTE]
