[QUOTE="Misssy2, post: 745042, member: 23537"] Yikes, I saw the turn when she moved from her Grandparents house to your house...I think she lost the little bit of structure she had left and went haywire. I believe that substance addictions are hereditary and that she is also escaping her feelings, situations and problems with drugs or alcohol....and in order to do that because she doesn't have a job...she is stealing for it...and yes addicts will steal from those they love the most "her Grandfather"....A teens brain works different than ours...she was probably thinking she wasn't hurting him..because she thought she was getting away with it. Her life is in chaos...I don't know if there are any programs like halfway houses around you ..but if there are...these places as you might know...will help her live sober and deal...and also help locate her a job and eventually housing.... Its best that she is away from you...because you have not learned to set boundaries (I am just learning at 54)...and you need a lot of counseling to get you thru on how to build a new relationship with her. Cause right now she does not respect you...and you do not respect her.....and you both need to learn how to be adults....I'm not saying that to be mean...I also am still growing into an adult. My kids had a dysfunctional family life due to my drinking and my X's domestic violence...and it takes a LOT to heal everyone from those wounds and neither or you can do it alone... On my end...my son refuses any help...So I am the one getting the help and doing the work for both of us...its slow...but I am seeing results from just me getting help. [/QUOTE]
