[QUOTE="SunnySad, post: 750711, member: 24261"] Hi Monica, I’m very new to this group too. My daughter has chosen to be homeless over taking medications and getting off pot and alcohol. I think she uses the drug and drink to self-medicate for underlying mental illness - possibly bipolar, borderline, attachment disorder, etc. At home she rages and causes so much drama we told her she had to leave this last time, but other times she has made her own choice. I love some of what Copa said. In the end, they are choosing and they are adults. But it sure hurts and the worry is real. I find myself less worried than I was in the beginning. Actually I’m kind of impressed that my daughter is doing so well out there. I guess I have to admit it is her choice. I did just break down and buy her, yet another, phone and one month of service (prepaid cell). I know people advised me against it and I know I said I would never buy her another phone, but... It’s hard. But I won’t have her on my plan ever again. It does make me feel better when she has a phone. But I know she can trade it or sell it, or use it to connect into a party, or whatever, so it’s enabling her. It’s hard. Hang in there. Glad you found us. [/QUOTE]
