[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 509799, member: 1550"] Hi there. Most of the people on this site have younger kids. You may want to post on "Substance Abuse." Most of your child's problems are likely due to her substance abuse. Do you think she was using any drugs while she was testing to get her diagnosis? At any rate, as one who had a child who used drugs, there is nothing you can do about any of the other issues until the drug problem is addressed. My guess is that she is using a lot more drugs than you think and doing it a lot more often. At least, that is what we found out (not until after she quit did we know how bad it had been though). I suggest you search for a good drug program for her. If that were my daughter, I'd have confiscated everything she hung on her room and trashed it. You can be arrested yourself if you have that stuff in your house. One day I found a pipe in my car after my daughter had gone to work. I threw it out the window in a panic...lol. It's really not funny, but i just chucked it out the window...it could have hit anyone. I was panicked and scared of being caught with it. When I confronted daughter she insisted it was planted there by some enemy to get her into trouble. I was so naive I believed it. And she WAS arrested and on probation...twice. She didn't stop using drugs until she wanted to stop, BUT s he did stop! We never said it was ok for Daughter to smoke pot anywhere. In fact, I turned her in once when I caught her smoking pot. I am not sorry I did it. Welcome to the board, but I sure wish you didn't have to be here. Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
