[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 61185, member: 2211"] Well, my mommy gut was right. difficult child called me last night from a strange to me boy's (N) house at 11PM and started with, "Im not gonna lie, I've been drinking". Bwaaahaaaa - She had some beer and told me she was at her other friend's house (who I do know) and was just going to sleep over! Again, Bwaaahaaaa!! In that instant, it all came together for me and I stated that I knew she was at N's house and not C's house. She stopped cold and waited. I told her that if she was at C's house, let me talk to his mom, who I have met once. She then changed her story to, "okay, so you're going to ground me for this, but I'm not at C's house, I'm at..." and I finished with "N's house". Silence again. Then she said she would just drive home when I said I was coming to get her. Again, Bwaaahaahaaaa! I said no, to go lock her car and wait for me. I went there and met N on his patio. I told him that I could have him arrested for serving alcohol to a minor and he stopped dead (he actually was as polite as one could be while talking on his cell while talking with an angry mom). He just got from boot camp for the Navy and I told him that the armed forces would not take him with a mark on his record. That's when I think he may have messed in his pants a little. Then I told him that I would have liked to meet him under different circumstances and to please go fetch my daughter so I could bring her home...we'd get her car in the morning. difficult child and I drove him in virtual silence and this morning I woke her up at 7 to pick up her car. On the way there she said, "So, I'm convinced that I cannot drink alcohol at all now". Well, duh. She lost her car keys. I don't know what else to do. I think back to my teens and I know that I was doing what everyone else was doing and that included drinking with friends. We did other stuff, but we were also drinking at 17/18. On the one hand, I just think it's typical teen stuff, but on the other hand, the drinking age is up to 21 now and she's hanging with losers who all they do is play beer pong and nothing else. So, it's a dangerous path to go down for her. Add to that she's on medications and she's likely BiPolar (BP). Anyway, I am so glad I have such strong intution, but sometimes I wish I could just go on vacation from it. LOL. But this is her thing and I told her as long as she continues to hang with people who drink all the time, it will be difficult for her to not drink too. Ultimately, she has to be the one to choose what she needs to do and how she will lead her own direction in her life. In the meantime, I will just reiterate the ground rules again and see where we go from here. [/QUOTE]
