[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 585980, member: 1550"] If she is hanging around with drinkers and drug users, it is highly likely that somewhere, sometimes she is doing the same thing, especially since she is Face booking about it. Whether or not she is doing it at home, she is probably doing it somewhere. Unfortunately, I know that drug users lie a lot because I had one and since her "friends" (cough) think it's cool to drink and use drugs, it is unlikely she is always saying "no" when she is with them. I would definitely spring a drug test on her every so often, however they don't "get" every drug. I am sorry you are dealing with this. If she is a young teen, your husband may be onto something, depending on how good the school is. If she is an older teen, there isn't much you can do because there does come a time when they are not in our control. We tried everything with our then sixteen year old and nothing worked. She managed to sneak out of t he house through her window. I drove her to school and picked her up. She still did drugs, sometimes at home by herself. You may want to check her room when she isn't at home. At the very, very least she needs some very serious therapy, if she is willing to be straight up with the therapist. My daughter wouldn't talk. Falling grades, and new and undesirable friends as well as missing money (yours), and lying are red flags for drug use. in my opinion it's best if you can redirect her to a nicer group of friends or it doesn't usually turn out to well. My daughter had to go to live with her brother in a different state before she could straighten out.;d [/QUOTE]
