[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 710912, member: 1550"] I had the same experience as Kathy as far as learning my daughter used drugs much more often and seriously that I thought or would let my mind even think of at first. Drug users dont tell us the truth and can use drigs without getting into trouble for long stretches. I was shocked when I learned. My daughter was sort of a dry drunk after she quit. It was a full two years before we really said to one another "She has changed completely." We never know everything w0hile they use, no matter how sure we are. They hide their worst. It makes sense. Telling us "I use meth a lot" like my daughter did would have made things worse for her if she had needed us. Like Kathy, I didnt want to know everything but Daughter had a strong need to tell us and I felt I had to listen if she needed to tell me. It was as if she wanted to cleanse herself by confessing all. Im her mom. I listened and expressed how proud I was that she quit. And had nightmares about her at night, even though she was now clean. Was hard. [/QUOTE]
