[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 354572, member: 1953"] ((Kathy)) So sorry things are going poorly right now. One thing you said that really struck me is that your daughter isn't abusing street drugs, but you suspect she is abusing her prescription drugs. I see no difference between the two. Her behavior is just that as somebody who is abusing street drugs. (especially the stealing) I recently went to a town hall meeting where I live. The meeting discussed prescription drug abuse. It was said that prescription drugs have now replaced marijuana and alcohol as the first drug kids try. Oftentimes, people get hooked on RX drugs and move on to street drugs because they are cheaper. Here is an article from that meeting. Diane Montes is my friend we lost our boys the same year 2006, during that year my town saw 12 OD deaths of young people.
