[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 125555, member: 1550"] My difficult child got high only when we were asleep (at least at first) so she looked normal at first. She became oppositional, had lots of meltdowns at home, stopped doing school work, had moodswings, was very disrrespectful, the whole nine yards. Big red flags are a change in friends or hanging with kids who are NOT good kids. Druggies don't hang with the good kids. My daughter had a sudden change of friends. My daughter also denied drug use. She would look us straight in the eyes and cry "You don't trust me" so we felt guilty. That was until she was busted by the cops. But then she swore she only smoked pot. Now that she's clean, she tells me she did every drug under the sun, including sampling heroine. Psychiatrists missed the drug use and diagnosed her with bipolar (which she may have, but that wasn't the main problem at the time). At any rate, she hated the BiPolar (BP) medications so she threw them out. I"m sure they wouldn't work with her drug use a nyways. Although she slacked in school, she worked and functioned pretty well. It's very confusing. I used to check her room without her persmission on a routine basis. THe older she got, the more into it she got, the more careless she got.We never found any dope, but we found drug paraphanalia. [/QUOTE]
