[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 707223, member: 4152"] I'm so sorry. I think there is a good chance she will be back in due time. Something will bother her and she will begin to see the light. We know someone who is very much like this. Often picking young men who for one reason or another have some sort of issue. Her latest boyfriend has issues, but thank goodness he is a very nice guy and his issues are much more minor than in the past. So, bottom line she has learned from her mistakes. And, I suppose if she breaks up with this fella..the next one might be completely different. It's been an interesting, slow process...with progress incrementally, but progress nevertheless. (And if she ended up with the current person permanently, it wouldnt be that bad at all!!!!) My thought is, as best as you can, refrain from making any critical comments of the guy...you can subtly make her know you are against drug use and any illegal activity. But refrain from harsh critism and let her know that you still love her and any other positives you can say. (She sounds like a sweet and intelligent girl). This way, later on, if (and when!) she realizes this was an error in judgment she will come to you readily. This is NOT easy. Seek counseling if needed. Find healthy ways to comfort yourself.
