[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 742595, member: 1550"] Hi. Sorry for your situation. Others with more current experience of drug use and the law will come along. I do have a story. I once had a daughter who was a serious drug user. We always made drug using daughter face the consequences and she lost the ability to drive our cars or have us help her on the road while intoxicated way before age 19. We never got a lawyer for her or broke the bank although many do pay a lot. But we felt that making it harder would work better. We prayed a lot too. For our daughter tough love worked. At 19 we found her having a pill party in our home and made her leave. It was the hardest thing we ever did. I cried for weeks. But in our case, with no money from us and a very undesirable place to stay only, she quit within a year. This is without rehab. I never heard of rehabs....it was about thirteen years ago. Maybe there were not as many. Then (rehabs). But quit because as she told us "Using drugs is too hard." She went back to college, took out her own loan, got a two year degree, worked hard, met her partner, bought a house and they have my sweet granddaughter, a house and the meth, coke and other stuff is gone. I would never ever ever help a kid, even my own, drive if I knew he or she was a dangerous driver. I never understand why people do. They can kill themselves and others. But they do. Often. I am sorry you are going through this. My daughter started at 12 and ended at 19 or 20. I dont know how brave moms walk this path for longer than that. It was horrible . But this story shows that there is always hope so I tell it. Wishing you the best!!! Love and light! [/QUOTE]
