[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 187645, member: 1550"] Ah, hon, I feel for you. It's so sad to watch our kids self-destruct. You can take control of your home back--agree with that--but you can't control HER much anymore--sadly, if she wants to do these things, she will, and you can't stop her. But at 18, if she won't try to get well and cut out the drugs, I would seriously consider telling her she will have to leave. You may want to post on "Teens and Substance Abuse" or even "Parent Emiterus" (since difficult child is almost 18) and talk to the Wise Ones who have been there/done that with out-of-control young adults (I'm one who has). It's truly a horrible and unique experience to feel helpless while an adult child (which legally means 18--like they are SO grown up at 18...lol) destroy themselves. But we have lived to talk about it. In my case, my daughter turned her life around so I can share a happy ending. (((Big hugs))) I feel for you. [/QUOTE]
