[QUOTE="Aspen, post: 509813, member: 14011"] Thanks for the support and suggestions. I am truly at my wit's end. I totally cleaned my daughter's room yesterday afternoon. I threw away anything related to drugs, paraphernalia, posters, tee shirts, etc. If and when she returns home, she will be furious. I am aware that she is doing a lot of drugs, as I have spent a great deal of time over the past few weeks, reading her journals. It was a revelation. I drive the child to school every day, and if I walked her to the door, she would probably punch me. Trust me when I say we have tried everything, and I mean everything. She refuses to comply with any request, even common courtesies. We do not have financial reserves to spend money on inpatient programs and the like. We are in a tough spot. I am aware that the place where daughter is staying has parents who condone drinking and smoking marijuana, by minors, in their house. I sent the mom a message, and said I am aware, and she has not responded. I could call the police? I'm contemplating it. I'll be honest though...my child does not want to stop using drugs and absolutely will not change her peer group. Right now, I am in survival mode...trying to figure out how I, husband, and 14 yo daughter can make it through this. To say it's heartbreaking would be an understatement. With regard to difficult child's diagnoses...she was 13, and drug tested at the time. Negative. This child has been a behavioral challenge since she was a toddler. It's been tough. I think her drug use began in 8th grade, and really took off last summer. [/QUOTE]
