[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 93637, member: 3419"] Yes ... "Never trust a drug addict." Horrifying and sad. My niece is/was so sweet and adorable. What a waste of a good life. A life with-potential that is still there. I told my easy child today about niece's rehab and what she's been taking and easy child was aware of the drug use in general (niece has a picture of herself using a bong with-a friend on her MySpace) but easy child wasn't aware of any specifics. I filled her in and told her that in case niece spends Christmas with-us (at a hotel in another state) that we should keep our purses and $ away from her. Sad but true. Niece has to prove herself over and over and has failed each time. by the way, someone broke into my sister's house this summer and husband and I are convinced it was niece's friends. Some jewelry was missing but nothing was otherwise disturbed ... as though the person knew exactly where to go and what to look for. Too much of a coincidence. I still don't know if my sister and her husband would believe it... sometimes you can say things to them and other times they argue and get defensive. It's too hard to know. So we usually just express sympathy and nothing more, ea time something happens. I know for a fact that my sister will never let go. I would personally be in the process of having the locks changed and cutting off all payment for bills, rent or whatever, because there is too much enabling going on. This is not something new. It's been going on for yrs but getting progressively worse. I can clearly imagine how it tears your guts to have to lock out your own child. I have put myself in her place a zillion times, trying to shore up my resources in case it ever happens to my kids. Because it could ... my risks are pretty high, or I wouldn't be on this bb! My nephew, who is 13, takes it all in with-big eyes and bigger ears. He pretty much writes off everything his sister does as something he should not do. I was the same way with-my older sisters. They were always in trouble and I would think, "Why would one be stupid enough to do XYZ?" I had no desire to do any of it. So at least he's got a horrible warning to gauge himself by. [/QUOTE]
