[QUOTE="Bean, post: 365583, member: 8620"] Star, Dude sounds a lot like my Beaner. She doesn't help around the house either. And her excuses for not doing anything expand far beyond our home. Nomad, she's 18, will be 19 next month. She went to jail at 17 and was put on probation for 18 months. During that 18 months she went to jail, out, back to jail (violations), on the run, back to jail, spent 4 months in res. tx, got out, went to my parent's house (was not allowed to come back here because she didn't want to leave her gang and stop using) violated, back to jail, 4 months in half-way house (tx), back to my parent's and then back to jail one more time, back to my parent's. Finally my parents kicked her out since they are on summer vacation and she has been using, not coming home, etc. She moved in with her boyfriend for about a month (that's all he could take - he was older, she's young and immature) and then she was out. That's how she ended up here. Something like that. The timeline might be screwy a bit. But basically she's had tx after tx, inpatient and outpatient. We have insurance and have set her up with a psychiatric, she went until she realized she wasn't going to get any happy drugs. Then she blew it off. She won't go to tx, won't get help. She self-medicates each night. We think it is with weed, but probably it's with more than that. After telling her our expectations last night (home by 11pm, sleep at home, up in the morning, no use, get a job/school, etc.) she pulled her same routine of saying she was "on her way home" and then never showing up. My husband talked to her at 12pm and she sounded out of it, on something. At 2am she called and said she was coming home and my husband told her that oh no, no, no. She wasn't. He said she could stay where she was and that she wasn't coming here at the buttcrack of dawn, messed up. She hung up on him. Sad as it is, she's choosing her lifestyle and her drug use over a warm bed, food, clothing, shelter and her family. And she's just shy of 19. It scares me. A lot. You'd think after all she's experienced, she'd be ready to make a change. You'd think she'd be a recluse, not wanting to go out or do ANYTHING to get in trouble or to mess herself up anymore. But she can't control herself. [/QUOTE]
