[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 138584, member: 3647"] hello Maya. Hugs to hour hurting mommy heart. I was your daughter, 20 years ago. My mom was you. Watching me turn into someone she did not know. I went from honor roll to truant. She tried to stop me. It only made me want to do it more. You did the right thing. You nipped it in the bud. You made her aware. She knows that you know. You are short on time; as she will be 18 very soon. When she turns 18, she cannot be forced. Hopefully (and I am praying for you) this is the end of your chapter, and your daughter will get back to business. If that is not the case, then Midwest Mom is right. She will not seek help until and unless SHE believes that she needs it. And then it is time to employ some tough love. Go to AlAnon. That is what they are there for. Keep coming back to this board, you will find many caring people here who have been there done that (been there, done that). Glad you found us, but sorry you had to. [/QUOTE]
