Because I believe she IS a victim. Alcoholism is a disease, not a crime. What she did was wromg, but the alcohol changes her when she drinks. In the meantime, we've not heard from her in a week, nobody has a clue where she is or if she's even alive, and I blame the PD for dropping the ball and...

Police were round this morning asking when we last saw her. She hasn't been home since the incident last week! She's just started to detox and they've lost her!!

If she's going into withdrawal, they need to understand she could die if they just lock her in some confinement cell and leave her to "sleep it off". They won't tell us anything, which I know she's a legal adult, but I don't even know what's happened, let alone where she is now. Just losing my...

We're still trying to find out where she is. Didn't hear anything after two nights so called this morning, and all they would tell us is that there had been "an incident" and that she's not there anymore, but they won't tell us where she is now. I'm starting to freak out, I hate not knowing...

It's been a tough week. We installed a lock on our bedroom door, and set up a security camera in the hall outside. She got in on Monday with a strange device which we think is something called a Snap Gun. I have $200 missing from my cabinet. Last night we had a sit down and told her on no...

I have just realised what you're talking about - I thought AlAnon was just short for Alcoholics Anonymous. I've just been reading about the family support - I'd never come across it till now. As for trouble, she's had a bad day. We've had to shut off the water because she fell in the bathroom...

Atheist. This is a small town where almost all the social networking here goes through the church and I inadvertently offended everyone within the first week and put a big black spot on us. But another reason I wanted to find something other than al anon because they often have a large emphasis...

She's our only child. No we don't know anyone out here - we moved to Indiana 7 years ago, I don't have any siblings and my parents have both passed, hubby has a brother but he's way up in southeast Alaska. I sort of screwed up any chances of building a good relationship with any friends or...

If it were just one case of taking a card, or one DUI, I perhaps would consider calling the cops. But she's so far down this rabbit hole of horror, I feel like attracting attention to her with the police is nothing short of a death sentence - I'm sure there's more she's hidden that we haven't...

I've no idea where to go from here. It's not even lunchtime and she's already drunk. The house smells like a bar. I'm looking at rehab options but I can't see her staying anywhere more than a day. I think her social life has a huge impact on her decision to keep drinking, but I don't know how to...

Thank you for your support - see above, I have already tried locking things away in a strongbox and she still managed to get in. The hard thing is often she uses cards and puts them back afterwards without me noticing, it can be weeks until I find something out of place, by which time it's too...

I used to give my cards to her to do family shopping before I had any notion of what was going on. I started to suspect something and asked her to get receipts of each shop, and everything came back normal. I later found out she was doing two shops - running alcohol through separately and...

Me and hubby are having a tough time with our daughter who lives at home with us. She just turned 23 but sometimes I think she has the mind of a career criminal - she has been stealing money from us to the tune of around $15000 over last 5 years to fund an alcohol addiction. She has no income...
