[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 586061, member: 1550"] I don't mean you can't do anything and I shouldn't have said that. We did spy and we stopped her from running off with a guy she met online who lived in Colorado. Also, when my daughter used there was no Facebook or social networking so we didn't have that resource. And we did catch her doing things and turn her into the police. My point was, she still did what she wanted to do and the cops basically just slapped her hands since she was only caught with pot (although she did much more). You can take away her stuff. We did that. We took away her money. She got a job and kept it!! That was her only source of income. She knew she was on the way out at age 18 unless she straightened her act out. She didn't, not until she was out of our house. But the sad fact was, in spite of all that it did not stop of even slow down her drug use. Drug users are very sneaky. That's really what I meant. It's best to nip it younger and we did not have a clue until she was fourteen (she had been into drugs for two years by then). She had to stop using on her own...we couldn't make her...nobody could make her. So the poster above is definitely more correct than I was!! :) [/QUOTE]
