[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 336051, member: 1233"] My instinct is to do whatever you have to to stop her doing "whatever" with strangers. You have the choice against cigs which can cause cancer - a treatable problem with better outcomes every year, and the physical trauma, mental trauma, real danger and risk (near certainty with the kind of men who would do this) of diseases that are not as treatable as cancers - HIV (more treatment resistant every year), Hep A, and other STDs. I would choose cigarettes OR speak with the police to see if there are any programs that might help. Given the choice, I would defend giving her cigs to my last breath. If it comes up that she wants pot or booze, that would probably be time to go back to Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Just my thought. The other idea I had was to see if the psychiatrist would add zyban and chantix to her medications. I don't know if they would be a problem with other medications or with her other problems. Probably you should talk with psychiatrist and therapist about this before you make a move. I am not sure I would allow her to go anywhere until I had an answer, but I don't even know if that is feasible. I am so sorry that she thinks that "whatever" is even an option, much less a viable option or plan. You may want to see if there are anit-prostitution programs aimed at vulnerable young people. I don't know if they exist at all, but I think that girls who would do this really NEED some kind of intervention - something to keep them from getting further into trading herself for something she wants. My heart aches for you and kt. Susie [/QUOTE]
