[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 614263, member: 1550"] Well, the sad part here is that Adderall, which kids chop into pillcrushers and snort, is not a benign drug nor is it used alone often. It's companion drug is normally cocaine. My daughter did this until she moved on to meth. I do not think you should have to be around her in her abuse. And if you were her parent I would question the purpose of sending her to college (unless it is on HER dime). She isn't going to do well in college if she is using drugs. But she is your stepdaughter, although an adult, and I would not allow her to treat me that way, even if your husband wants to think she is "only doing it because...." I say let your husband spend Christmas alone with her. But I'd have to ponder, if it were me, the state of my marriage. It is not uncommon for fathers and mothers to choose kids over their spouses, however, she is clearly in the wrong here and in my opinion he should take up for YOU. She's not a little girl who needs her daddy. The best thing he can do for her is to encourage her to make good choices and not excuse disrespect for any reason. Hugs. I'm so sorry. Take care of YOURSELF first so that you don't get overly caught up in Step daughter's drama. Maybe see a therapist to see where you want to go from here. What a hard job you have! [/QUOTE]
