[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 480816, member: 1550"] I have a daughter who was a drug user (it went far beyond pot). I think you have some hopeful signs there. At least she lets you know where she is and has a part time job and wants to get her GED. She does seem to be lacking foresight about what the future holds for her if she doesn't straighten out, but I (in my layman's opinion) don't see signs of antisocial personality disorder. If she had it, I doubt she'd even let you know where she is. By telling you, it is at least letting you know that she is aware that you worry about her and that she is trying to make you worry less. My daughter was also very angry at putting her in a psychiatric hospital when she pulled a knife on herself. But she got over it. In fact, once the drugs stopped, she seemed to just melt back into that sweet child we had known only as an adult. Your child does NOT sound hopeless. Making her leave may be the shock she needs to turn her life around. big hugs to you...I have been there/done that. It's NOT fun, but it CAN turn around. [/QUOTE]
