[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 492741, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome to the forum. This is a great place to vent and nice people chat here. Your situation is sad and unfortunate. Your daughter is 21 and does not live with you. I am not sure of the laws in the uk, but in the US, once a child is 18 it is pretty impossible to legally do anything to stop them from a destructive lifestyle. If it is the same there, I would tell her the truth about seeing her FB and WHY you looked and talk to her. Even if she gets angry, it's worth a try. Let her know you are there for her and worried and willing to help. If she rejects it for now, at least it will be in the back of her mind that she can get help from you. Otherwise, I'm not sure there is anything further you can do at her age. It is very difficult, I know. Do you have Al-Anon and Narc-Anon meetings in the uk? If so, I highly recommend going to one to get real life help! Keep us posted! Hugs :)))! [/QUOTE]
