Some people think it's holding on that makes one strong; sometimes it's letting go. The hardest thing to do is to let go. Someone wrote that family members don't hurt as bad as a loved one because the two become as one. A loved one has not given birth to that person to watch them die before their eyes; the pain runs so deep when it is a child that you see going down before you that the pain is unbearable.

By time a child reaches the age of 15 they are pretty much set in their ways. No amount of begging, pleading, or even beating them will change the course that they have chosen to follow. They think that they know it all and that the world is in their hands, nothing can touch them. This is when you have no other choice but to let go and let God. All you can do is pray that your daughter will see with her own two eyes what she is doing. I have been in the same spot that you are in except when I kicked my daughter out she was only 16 and she was pregnant. She was not on drugs at that time I don't think but she thought she was big enough and let me know that I could not tell her what to do, she was in an abusive relationship with the father and refused to stay away from him. It hurt so much to do that but I had three other children and a husband at home that I also love that were being put through hell from the constant fighting. I decided enough was enough when she hit me and gave me a black eye because I was not going to allow her to go to her boyfriends at 10:00pm.

Stand strong and do what you need to do. Holding on to her is not helping her it's enabling her. You will be in my prayers.
