[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 618390, member: 1550"] Well, people are seeing something. Actually, kids who use drugs tend to be very sneaky. My daughter fooled me for a long time. What are her friends like? Nice kids? Troublemakers? Drinkers? Druggies? Any seedy boyfriend? How is school going? At 19, is she going to college? Working? paying rent? Helping you around the house? Looking forward to being independent? Do you pay for all her toys? her car insurance? Her cell phone? Her internet? My daughter was also assaulted and maybe that was part of the reason why she took drugs, but I really did not let that be an excuse for her. She refused help for that and for anything else and, as her drug use and disrespect escalated, she was told to leave and she DID quit everything and is doing quite well now. Have you ever searched your daughter's room while she was away or read her FB or cell phone texts to see what is going on? None of us like to breach privacy, but when our kids are doing poorly, sometimes that is the only way we can know what is going on and to make decisions based on that. Was she always difficult? I'm really sorry she stole from you. Most of us, sadly, know how it feels and can empathize with your hurting heart. You have many kids to care for and a lot on your plate. Your 19 year old should not be taking up too much of your time at her age. [/QUOTE]
