[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 75458, member: 696"] One of the things that is just so hard to accept and believe is that traditional parenting and expectations, just don't work with these kids. Once they start on the drugs, their motivation changes, their personality changes, and their ability to grow up and reason change. They become stunted emotionally and developmentally. And I don't mean physically either. That part keeps right on going. It's also difficult not to get sucked up into the drama and not run around like a screaming mimi. Your difficult child owes you money and needs to pay you back. That's the first thing that needs to be done. She must be held accountable for her actions. No one cares if she has to work just to pay the $800 or whether she'll continue to work. Maybe a staffing company will hire her. Are you searching her room and stuff for drugs and paraphenelia?
