[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 339829, member: 1550"] Well, you're not alone. This is a good place to land, but sorry you had to be here. My daughter started taking drugs at age 12. We had no idea. Then we thought it was just weed, but it was a lot more. She's clean now and I'm shocked at all the drugs she has told me she took, and we had no idea she was as involved as she was. My guess is, your daughter is taking more than pot too. They usually will confess to pot, but not other drugs. She is likely also drinking. When a child is on drugs it is really hard, if not impossible, to know if she has another diagnosis. Drugs can change a kid overnight. They are not the same person. My daughter was also very good at lying to us while looking straight into our eyes and tricking all her psychologists. We didn't have much luck with any of that. Even being on parole twice didn't stop the drugs. She had to decide to quit on her own and now she's doing well. I know I'm not being very helpful. Just wanted to tell you that I understand and to let you know that it can get tons better. Right now, for some support for yourself, I suggestion going to a Narc-Anon meeting. They will understand and not judge you and probably have good, common sense advice for you. [/QUOTE]
