[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 674304, member: 18958"] Welcome RNMom. Saturdays are slow sometimes but others will respond shortly. You might also post in the PE forum. I do not know what to tell you. Substance Abuse is not my primary issue with my son. I wanted to write to tell you welcome and to assure you that others will soon respond. I would be very concerned, too. I would also be disinclined to believe her. Do you pay for the college costs? If so, you have every right to put conditions on her. The thing is, how do you enforce them? Most of us have found that bringing our kids home at that age is a mistake. Especially for us. But also for them and our other kids. If she wants to use her independence to self-destruct, she may have to finance her own college. That is what I think. What our children do, we have little or no control over. We [I]can[/I] cut off the money and support. By her response minimizing the episode, it sounds like she does not view as problematic her behavior. This is the most concerning thing. She probably thinks she is "partying." If you are supporting her, you have some thinking to do about how to respond. Welcome. Keep posting. I would post a thread in PE, too. COPA [/QUOTE]
