[QUOTE="KFld, post: 413836, member: 2442"] It's great that they are testing her and she is clean, but I can almost guarantee you by her attitude and the fact that she feels she doesn't need anymore help, it probably won't last. Not sure what the drug of her choice was, but from my own experience with my son, it's not until they are really ready to change their life, their friends, their attitude, they will keep drifting back to the same negative choices over and over and over again. Not sure what to suggest with a 16 year old because when we discovered my son was an addict he was 18 and after trying many things finally had to ask him to leave our home. He hasn't lived home since, but with a 16 year old, Its a different story. Hope you find some answers from others on this board who are dealing with these issues with a younger child then I first dealt with it. Hang in there and make sure you get some help for yourself. This is a long and winding road and the earlier you can learn to control how you handle this, the better results you may have in the long run. Have you tried alanon?? [/QUOTE]
