[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 631222, member: 59"] So sad, welcome. My experience was very much like yours. It began years ago, my daughter was always a difficult child, but escalated when she entered high school and began drinking and smoking pot and came to a head when she graduated high school and started college and was suspended by the second month for drugs/alcohol. She went through residential treatment, outpatient, sober houses and living with addict friends. Through it all we had to set our boundaries and stick to them. I missed her terribly but I did not miss the drugs, drinking, anger, violence and total lack of respect. She is now 23 and is living with her boyfriend and has a decent job and we are rebuilding our relationship. You have some tough years ahead, I wouldn't go back to them for anything in the world. You are doing the best thing you can right now by seeing a counselor yourself. It is very sad when we see them throwing away a college opportunity for instant gratification. My difficult child now regrets her choices but there is no going back, only moving forward. [/QUOTE]
