[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 511825, member: 3710"] Hi Tracey, Welcome to this board. Many of us here have been exactly where you are now, and we understand your pain and worry. How old is your daughter? If she is 18 she is legally an adult and she does not have any right to live at your house with you. I have an 18 year old son who uses drugs every day, but he was not ready to accept that this was a problem for him so he refused to go to rehab. He also stole from our house and some of his friends homes in order to get money for drugs. My h and I had to take a hard stand with our son, because we could not have him live in our home if he was going to use drugs and steal from us. I did everything that I could to try to convince my difficult child that he needed to get help for his addiction, but he was not ready to accept that he had a problem. Unfortunately he continued to steal until he was arrested for theft. Now our difficult child is in jail, and for the first time in a long time he is not using drugs because he is locked up. Our difficult child had a chance to be in a rehab program, but he refused to go so now he is in jail. w You have done everything that you could to help your daughter, but she has refused all your help. Please keep posting here, and try to take care of yourself. We are here to offer you support and understanding. [/QUOTE]
