[QUOTE="prntofbpd1991, post: 215192, member: 6377"] Just spoke with her- her boyfriend is a dream, and fortudently does not have to face the issues that difficult child is faced with, but he frequently makes her problems his own, (ex: calls me if difficult child seemed "off,") Hes basically a part of our family. I doubt he could be using, but then again, I never know.. Anyway-- heres her story. She did not deny it was hers, (shocking, and as you guys know, very impressive as I expected her to lie to my face) She admitted to using to calm herself down when she got too emotional about something. When I asked why it was in such a large ammount, she gave an answer that broke my heart.. She claims that she has no friends (this is sadly true, other than boyfriend) and rarely feels comfortable enough to buy it, so when given the option she buys alot. She then pleaded with me not to tell her boyfriend and that he doesnt know shes doing it. This seems like a believable story, but as you all know, difficult child's are fantastic at making up believable stories. But even if her story is true, which I believe it is, there must be a consequence. She does not go out with friends, so grounding her would have no meaning, she does go out with her boyfriend, but he tends to be almost theraputic for her, and I wouldnt feel right not allowing her to see him. She works for her money and does not get money from me, so i cant take it away. She needs her cell phone during school to reach me, isnt a big TV fan. Normally, i would take away computer privlages, but our computer has a virus (Im on my business laptop) so she does not use it anyway. any ideas? [/QUOTE]
