Lucy, as hard as it is, there is nothing you can do unless she is a minor and you can put her in some type of rehab, but other than that, there is nothing. I would have locked my daughter up in her room if I could, but cant do that or I would be in jail for kidnapping. I have learned not to confront, to just let her do the talking, but any advise i might give just got thrown back in my face that she is grown and can do what she wants, come and go as she wants. Well, I finally told her not to come back until she had proof she was clean or working towards it and went as far as putting camera's on my porch that records to vcr just for our own protection and for the baby's. She has stole from us, has gotton physical with me, disrespected our home which isnt fancy but my husband and I work hard for what we do have, and when she finally got it through her head I was not gonna let her run me, things changed a little, it is still very hard, especially now that she is out of jail and I have not heard from her, a friend said they saw her with some other kids, so I am 99 percent sure she is right back in the same thing and I just refuse to have that in my home or life. Like I said before, I will do everything in my power to help when she is ready for help and willing to do the work it takes to beat this,,and do pray to your higher being, he has a plan for all of us and is really the only one in control. Keep writing and keep me informed. The only advice I might would give you is to not let her use your home as a motel, to just come and go as she pleases, eat your food, sleep, take a bath then leave again. It is hard, but I changed locks and all to let her know I meant business. Never give her money, if she comes to your door, give her a sandwich and tell her to go back to her "friends" who seem to be more important that her family,,it took me a long time to get to that point, but I am finally finding peace in my home again, again, like I said, every day seems to be a little brighter, it was so bad, I didnt know who she was anymore, and that is what the drug does, it changes the person, and I dont like the person she is right now, I love her, but want my daughter back.. Good luck, and keep me informed, I am still learning from others and you will to, study about addiction, just learn as much as you can and at least you will get some of your sanity back. God be with you and all others.
