[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 614204, member: 13260"] My oldest daughter was pilfering her younger sister's Adderall (they were 23 and 20 respectively). Then older daughter got severely hooked on crystal meth. She was very thin, edgy, and non-productive. We found a letter on the hard drive of her computer we were fixing in which she was trying to get her boyfriend back, who dumped her because of her drug use. We did a gentle intervention, outpatient, but ultimately failed. She then got arrested for shoplifting a pair of sunglasses, and she had more than enough money on her to pay for it. She then somehow got her car searched and they found a pipe, Adderall, and the meth. Of course, she said they weren't hers. Yeah. I told her this wasn't my first trip to the rodeo. We bailed her out, got her a lawyer, and this man probably saved her life. He said "She's got undiagnosed ADD of some type. Get her help, I'll help get her out of the legal mess." Which was what happened. Your step daughter may be in over head experimenting, or she may be self-medicating. But in the end, she has to recognize that she has a problem before she'll get better. Hugs to you. My daughter is doing great now, but in the middle of it all, I was terrified, angry, hurt, confused, and probably a thousand other things. [/QUOTE]
