[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 672435, member: 19522"] Hi Gabby, I am so very sorry for your troubles with your girl. It is so difficult when we see our children go down this path. Welcome, to this site, it is very helpful and comforting to be able to share in a safe place. In your post, Gabby, you have shared that she [I]is doing drugs. [/I]Pot is much different these days, stronger and more addictive. Your situation is difficult, because your daughter is 18, considered legally an adult, still in high school and at home. I have concerns for your 13 year old, having younger children myself, when my older ones were on this path. Could you enlist help from the school counselor? Setting rules and boundaries for your home is important, and if she refuses to follow them, you may have to issue an ultimatum. For your sake, as well as her sisters sake. Peace in your home is first and foremost. I would definitely try counseling. My oldest daughter started to slide in middle school. I wish I had seen it then, and gotten counseling for her. I hope that there is help in your area, and you and your daughter can work this out. Others will come along and offer support and kindness. In the meantime, be kind to yourself. Do take good care, Gabby, I wish I had more solutions for you. Please know that we are here for you and you are not alone. Keep posting and sharing. It helps. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
