[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 678237, member: 18958"] Rosie, you are doing so, so well in an impossibly difficult situation. None of us can go back. Not your daughter, nor you or me. Life goes on and we have only the next choice which is in front of us. Only that. Your daughter has created her next choices. She can choose well or poorly. She has a debt. She can work to pay it. Or not. She has a drug problem which she can choose to treat or not. Really, this has nothing to do with you, now. That your daughter turned up and sought to manipulate you with talk of suicide, of killing herself, was another poor choice. She had the option of discussing with you constructive and productive responses to her situation. She chose instead drama and to inflict hurt and worry, and to provoke guilt. I hope you consider calling 911 if she makes a threat like that to you. Every single time. That is the only way they will stop. Take her seriously. Hold her to her words. Get help from the police. To put your young son through this is hurtful to the max. If it was me I would keep her away from him and explain why. The whole theater seems like it was a ploy for the easy money. I would be furious too. Stay strong. You are doing this. It is the hardest thing you will have to do in your life, or one of them. By staying strong you will provide the opportunity for her to find her bearings if she chooses to. I am sorry you are suffering. I am sorry all of us, each of us suffers. Keep posting. Take care.
