[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 683347, member: 19522"] Hi Beam-me-up, thank you so very much for sharing your point of view. I am so sorry you are having a hard time with your daughter. I can understand how reading SA, or PE threads can be very frightening for you. My thoughts are that you have an opportunity to help your daughter. If I could turn back the hands of time, I think I would have taken my two to a counselor, tried to delve a little deeper into the whys and whats. They acted out here and there, I thought it was teen angst. At this point, I do not know what came first, the chicken or the egg. Did they act out due to pot use (because now I do know they experimented) or was it other issues? Shoulda, coulda, woulda, you know? I am glad that you shared what you would like to find here regarding coping skills and how it is hard to read threads in PE, that no contact is not an option for you (of course not!!!). I do not take offense at your response, I think it is great. See, this is a tough one. I am sorry you go through this. I think remaining calm is important, but oh so very hard to do! Please do not let the stories in PE frighten you, some of us are going through worst case scenarios, it is a sort of "awfullizing" for you to project this for your daughter. It does not mean that this is where your daughter is headed. What it means is that you have some time now to try to find solutions for her, and you. I am glad you found us Beam-me-up and shared your thoughts here. Maybe the other forums would benefit from a guidelines thread like the one in PE? I think the questions you asked here are a good start. I do not post too often in General, because my two are older. I wish I had found CD back then......that written, I think you have a wonderful opportunity here to find some answers to your questions, and also contribute to the forum with your own experience. Thank you for being here and sharing. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
