[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 259195, member: 1233"] Bran, I am so sorry things are so hard. I hope your family would only be supportive of you, but I don't know them. The first thing you can do to get through this is to go see a doctor. You can't afford to wait another week to see a doctor. you MUST get into a doctor on Monday or Tuesday. Your body is going to fall apart if you don't. Go to the doctor, and then if you need to make payment arrangements, do so. Be sure when you ask for medications you let the doctor know $$ is tight. But it will be MUCH more expensive to have a stroke or heart attack or other problem from all of the stress. Waiting to see the doctor at the friday clinic is definitely a false economy. I have to say that while I wish it would work to have difficult child forcibly removed from the streets by the friend and her mother, or by the police, I strongly doubt it will. You had many signs that she was doing this while she was still underage. You had custody of her then and couldn't make a dent in her behavior. What would make you think you could stop her now? (I do NOT mean to be rude, mean or flip, I truly am interested in what you are thinking.) If you CAN force her off the streets and into treatment or jail, what will stop her from returning to the life seh is living now as soon as she is out? You will probably get her off the streets and drugs for life faster by waiting until she is ready. Let her know you will help her whenever she is ready to leave that life for a clean and sober one, that you love her and want to help. But make her understand you can't help her until she is ready to go into treatment and work the program. Then when she tires of her life seh will turn to you. If you force her off the streets she may NOT later turn to you when it is HER idea to get off drugs and out of the prostitution life. Use the time until she is ready to take care of yourself and the rest of the family. Go to NA meetings, find groups for parents of kids in gangs or kids who have turned to prostitution. Work with a therapist. Exercise and pray regularly. Work with a doctor to cope with the stress and grief. Whatever you do, I will support you 100%. [/QUOTE]
