[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 449582, member: 1514"] Welcome to the board Nelly. You have really hit a difficult milestone with your daughter. Like the others, I think it makes a bit of difference in the age of your daughter. If the adult child is a very young adult, you might have a bit more influence but I have a feeling your adult child is at least 30 given the drug of choice and the number of years she has been using. 17 years is a long time. I doubt she started as a toddler. I have only known a few meth users. That is not a pretty drug. Your daughter needs extreme help now but unless she wants it, you cant want it for her. The only thing you can do is to make your rules in your home and life to be strong and strict and if she refuses to follow them, she has to go. Where is really not your problem with a grown adult. It truly isnt. I know you dont want to put her out on the streets...especially with a daughter but it may be the one thing that saves her life. In most places there are shelters but I wont say all because there arent shelters here that I know of...at least none for men...maybe for women. Maybe for drug abusers. I know you think you could never ask her to leave. You need to rethink that position. If she keeps being allowed to stay in your home, you are actually providing her the funds to continue to use meth. Is that what you want to do? [/QUOTE]
