[QUOTE="Greenegal, post: 616425, member: 17528"] She kept pushing for a ride and I just couldn't do it. I confronted her about dealing drugs and of course all she tried to focus on was the fact that I read her Facebook messages and that she would never trust me again, etc...I can't bring back all that was said but I stayed calm, told her I haven't decided what I was going to do yet but cannot enable her to do such dangerous behavior. I told her I was going to talk to some professionals and that if she didn't talk with me I would have to include her dad and other family members in the conversation. That got her to stay in the room at least but she didn't really say much. It was mostly me talking about it being a felony, that she will get caught, have a record, jail, etc...After some of my questions she did say she was doing it for the money and will stop when she gets her certificate or full time job. That is several years away though. (I've never had enough money to give her a decent allowance). She said she only sold to friends and wouldn't get caught. Ha!
