[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 30333, member: 2727"] It is a tough choice and a fine line at the same time. But either way I will stay in the background and only appear when needed. Although very hard I have tried to not allow this all to mentally consume my thoughts every minute of the day and have been doing my usual everyday stuff and staying tough so that I can care for her brother. As far as I know she still has her cell phone and I have not one time tried to call her and have seen her at a distance in the neighborhood on one occasion but kept going and she did the same, It was hard not to just go up to her and grab her up for the save but I know that the chances are slim that it would have made a difference. With all of the advice and thoughts given here at CD to include friends I have come to the realization that you cannot fix somebody elses problem including a difficult child. From what I have read sometimes its just not the answer so with that said I don't see myself trying to fix anything that she creates. I will leave that up to her knowing that she will ultimately be the one to have to deal with the natural consequences for her bad choices and hopefully she will learn from it and choose a good path. Calling the local police and alerting them to my difficult children bad choices considering that they all know her is my way of grasping for that one last chance at saving her. I have no clue as to what the outcome will be but am hoping that it will be the wake-up call that she needs and if it is I suppose I'll collapse at that point with relief that there is hope for her to become drug free.
