She currently doe not live with us. I am very involved with Aaaaaal-anon and Families Anon. I reccomene the onlinne FA. I leanred about this from this list and it has been a lifesaver for me. I have a sponsor whose d/a (daighter/addict) also left home at 16. Yes, as several have shared. We do not allow cigs, drinking or drugs at home. I do not buy cigs sfor her. We do our bet to not enable by limiting cash to her. I trie dfor years and years to channel her enenrgy nto positive channels like sports,music, scout,chucrch groups.When this exploed about age 15.5, she would run away and party,etc. Then, it was the hospitlizations, therapy,etc. I really am powerless over her mental illness and addicitons. Today, the focus is protectign ourselves. I love her but I was totallyh powerelss over making her stop the destuctive behaviors. Currently, she has been out of Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for 6 months. She is medication adherent as we daily give her her medications. We have 3t-docs and a p-doctor on board. She is doidn school a bit (about 10 minutes a day with me 3 days a week). She shops fo grocerices (life skills) once a week and we help her stay on budget. She lives with her boyfriend (age 19) and another guy about hte same age. Just my experince. Compassion [/QUOTE]
