[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 493832, member: 11001"] It's great that she is on her own and working on being sober and you are doing well-at least thats my sense from your posts. As you said it is a process of relapse and get back on the sadle. I have the lieing thing so bad with difficult child. Even if it has nothing to do with drugs-it makes a normal relationship so tough. There are just have trust issues all the way around. And why they lie about what they lie about? I always say, if her mouth is moving, we probably have a lie in there somewhere. It's almost a habit. As for the boyfriend thing, until she is totally healed, she's going to attract some tough cookies. I always wish for my daughter to have a functional friend-a functional boyfriend would be great. But honestly, those boys find girls like themselves. And yes, at this age, attraction seems to be all they get! My neighbors met at AA. They have been married 15 years, have been sober the entire time, have 2 cute girls (neither one is [B]without [/B]a diagnosis, interesting??). They have other struggles, but they love each other and those girls. Maybe your daughter will find this kind of a relationship eventually- where they help each other and share values. I'm praying for it here. [B]Bits and pieces is all we can hope for I guess?[/B] Mine is working, coming home at night, but I'm pretty sure she is smoking pot still. Not every day, but when she can. How do I know? She has her old attitude back-"pot is better and safer than antidepressants, people who smoke pot are not druggies, it should be legal, etc." Sigh! [/QUOTE]
