[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 745787, member: 1550"] Baggy, my daughter is sweet and kind, even empathic, but not during her drug years. We thought it was only pot for a long time. After she quit, she seemed to have a need to confess all and if course as a loving parent I listedne, even though it was so hard to hear. Brutal Scary. Instead of pot only she drank a lot, did cocaine, meth and tried hallucinigetics and even heroin twice. What saved her from strong addiction is that she was terrified of needles. Everything was snorted. Believe it or not, that matters! She quit without rehab. There was no internet back then. I knew no addicts but her. I never heard of a drug rehab. She did go to a hospital and they said they believed she didnt take drugs. I so dislike tje mental health community at times. It is so inexact and full of gueswork. Question everything! She wouldnt. have gone to a rehab anyway. She also gave me advice after she quit (about 14 years now). Well, she quit at 20and is now 35. And thriving. And we are very close. Have hope! But this never left my head. And she was very emphatic. . "Never trust a drug user,/addict (I forget what word she said). They lie. All.The.Time." A beaitiful environment does not mean.the facility is better. Ditto for paying more money. A lot of that is the people running the program and the mindset of the perspn they are trying to.help. And sometimes kids are dragged into hospitals kicking and screaming and suddenly something resonates and they suddenly.surrender to.the program and get better. No matter how close we were to our kids pre-drug they turn into liars and often thieves after. You dont get the truth about their activities. Love and light! Bags, you are very strong. Never forget that. This is hard! [/QUOTE]
