I guess some of us who have had problems with daughters that age really haven't seen the worst...
It's the most drastic thing I have ever seen.
The sad part is if you knew the family you'd realize it can happen to anyone. A normal, middle class family. Mom Dad 2 daughters. He has his own business and while not rich does well enough. Nothing in her past raised a flag.
I still can't get my head around it. I went over to cheer my friend up after her back surgery and listened to about two hours of this. Tragic.
They can't let their daughter in their house because she will steal anything she can. She's wacked out 5 days a week and then sleeps 2 days straight. She's now about 90 lbs. and looks like hell. She used to be cute as a button...
With her age, they can't actually do anything, but dad was tempted to call the cops in and get her and felon boyfriend busted. That's how bad it's got in 1 year.
It's so bad They'd rather see their youngest daughter in jail than cranked out and stripping for more drug money.......
But they haven't gone that route...I thank God I'm not in those shoes.
There is a company in Michigan that supplies low cost drug tests to parents so they can test their children in the privacy of their own homes. The idea is to first determine if there is a problem and then lead them in the proper direction to get help before it becomes a police matter. Just having the test in the home gives the kids "an out" with their peers knowing that their parents will be testing them. The program has been very positive in all the communities it has been introduced.
