It's been a long time since my last visit to Conduct Disorders. My difficult child moved out 17 months ago and hasn't been a problem for us. Life was going good.
There were little things....daughter was having attitude problems. A lot of them seems to go with the friends she was hanging with. She ended up getting grounded. She couldn't go anywhere but her friends could come over to our house. The fact that they never did should have been a red flag. We didn't like that daughter was getting failing everything so this past fall we sent her to a private school. daughter throw a huge fit that lasted months. She even threatened suicide. Had the doctor check her BiPolar (BP) medications and things seemed fine.
Guess we were just blind to everything..... Friday daughter let us know about her drug problems. Guess the majority of times at school she was getting high. We cut her off some when we grounded her and that is why her friends won't come over to our house.
Then sending her to a private school really ended her supply. She confessed to having stuff delivered to her when we haven't been home.
The school she is in know is good for her. Her two good friends there did an intervention on her and had her talk to the school Pastor. Then she had to tell us.
I don't know how to deal with this at all.
She's not to the point of having to use it all the time. But she's mad that she'll never be able to do it again. I'm confused on what the right things to do are.
Right now I'm still between shock and denial. Out of my three kids this is the LAST one I would have thought this could happen to.
Any advice?
