[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 169332"] Great point Star...thanks! Jane...Just re-read your post and didn't realize your difficult child was pregnant. (hugs) MB...difficult child got a taste of what some folks thought having your own apt. means. difficult child is anti-drug. She had trouble figuring out who used drugs and who did not. She gets lonely and this helps to cloud her thinking, which is a little weak anyway. The apt. was a hangout...big time. This led to many problems...not all posted here. This has really improved...difficult child has toughened up...until the recent mess...when she got in over her head.
