[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 130191, member: 1233"] Beth, that was beautiful. I hope Nancy can save it somewhere and give it to her daughter at a time she [I]will[/I] be receptive. Nancy, I am so sorry she is sliding backwards, or running down that dark path with glee, whatever it is. You have worked so very hard to provide her help and therapy and the best of everything. I am going to ask you to PLEASE once again do the hard thing as a parent. PLEASE don't wait until the "next time" she comes in under the influence to take her car privileges. Inside a car, under the influence, she may kill someone. I am sure it would be the result of being under the influence AND not paying attention/a phonecall/whatever. However, it will still destroy her chances of going away to college soon, of sleeping at night, and do many other terrible things to her life and her mind. My BFF's little bro hit and killed a boy on a bike 12 days after he got his drivers license. He was a straight arrow, very popular but also very straightlaced, and it almost destroyed him. The boy on the bike WAS under the influence, and headed out into the road far too close for little bro to stop. NO ONE could have stopped with 10 feet between their car and a kid dressed in all black, on a black bike. To this DAY little bro has nightmares and sees a therapist. He probably always will. You don't want this for your daughter. You really really don't. Little bro started from a positive point, strong in knowing who he was and what his goals were. I don't know if your daughter is there, imagine what an accident of this sort would do to your daughter, long term? Talk it over and see if maybe her car rights should be limited now, to save her. If you decide not to, you still have my FULL support. But please, whatever you decide, stick to your guns. sending big bear hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
