[QUOTE="strangeworld, post: 728146, member: 22313"] Thanks everyone for your replies. Origami....what on earth!!!? I cannot believe someone would actually say that. How deeply insensitive to say that to a struggling parent. There is always hope, nomatter what. I think I will not share with this person anymore even though what she said wasn't really that bad. It just really sent me into depressed zone thinking about all that could be going on with my daughter. Since my post my daughter has been home a couple days here and there. Husband broke our rule of not picking her up in the evenings anymore on Sunday. She didn't ask...he offered because she texted him "hi Dad hope you are enjoying the suoer bowl" This is the first time she had reached out to him in a very long time. So he asked if she wanted a ride home. It's always ME she texts. She seemed normal and not high...yay. Dropped her off again the next day with her portable keyboard....happy she was going to be doing something while hanging around at least. Been gone since Monday. Today I get a text asking if I can pick her up when I pick son up from school....ok. Today she looked high and very, very tired. Backpack which now goes in trunk, wreaked of strong weed. Tomorrow I make it clear...again...if you are drunk or high don't ask to come home. I hate thinking she has nowhere to go but I just can't take this emotionally. It's a slow process for us...setting boundaries. [/QUOTE]
