[QUOTE="Tentimesaround, post: 656589, member: 18633"] I am in exactly the same position as you California. My daughter started her downward spiral second semester of grade 10. A former honour student she began skipping, drinking and smoking weed. Her School and home life deteriorated from there. Throughout high school she ran away many times, the final one being in Dec when we gave her 2 rules...go to school and no drugs. Apparently, that was way too many rules for her so she left. She had endless opportunities given to her by the school and by Us but she blew them all. She should be graduating this June but will not be. When the school told her in March she was not illegible to graduate, she was shocked! I am not sure how she could have been so detached from her own life that she didn't see this coming. I suppose this is part of addiction. She skipped almost a year of school. I also grieve the loss of the special day of graduation and worry as well about what she will become without a high school diploma. It is so painful to watch the families around me prepare for graduation day and all the parties that will follow knowing I will not share this with my daughter.I am trying hard to accept this loss and to find joy in my heart for her classmates who worked hard through high school and will enjoy the celebration on graduation day. She could have as well had she chosen differently. [/QUOTE]
