Thanks for the advice. She's doing remarkably well so far. I was thinking that she can always talk to her folks at Zona Seca, (rehab place).

GuestWho - why would I expect anything less from you.

Ummm...Okay!


Yes, she has friends that may mot be 'sober' and party a bit like teens usually do, but these kids aren't into meth. These are the the friends she gave up when she met meth, and they wanted nothing to do with her when she was using. Luckily, drinking wasn't in the game for Jack, so she's usually the 'D.D.' These are friends since gradeschool and none of them, (there are three), are drug users.

Not yet anyway...

SOOO... I may have an adult child living with me for longer than expected! She has been helpful and a lot nicer to me than in the past so I'm not as agressive about her having to grow up and out of the home. I'm hoping it's because she's growing up and not because I have cancer. But if it takes cancer to make her wake up and grow up then so be it! Hell...I'd hate to be her right now - boyfriend left her, mom has cancer, grandma(on Dad's side)has cancer and is not doing well at all. Just started a new job.

A lot of ##@% on her plate.

I love my kid. I want her to be healthy and happy.

Thanks Pen! She's gotten herself off to work. Talked to Lewis for a long time last night and feels pretty confident about things. They WILL remain friends they agreed. We had a good talk last night and she's now prepared to work on a few things to get her future more in order. In a couple of weeks she'll take her GED test. She's SMART, she can pass it. Then she will decide whether she'll just do esthetician school or go through the whole cosmetology program which would give her more options for a career. I think she'll do fine. I just got scared when she was SOOO frieked about the whole thing. I just am not sure whether she's a person who will turn to substances to buffer the grief or one that won't go that way. I was always one who coudn't drink or do drugs when I was upset. Made it worse for me. I always did my shyte to party only. We had a REALLY good talk last night and she even said the reasons for the break-up she can understand and some are things SHE needs to work on. Lewis is WAY mature for his age and seems as grown up as us grown-ups in his way of thinking. BUT he also wants to play kid for a while before settling into a super serious relationship which they were already in. He also hasn't liked the fact that she goes to parties with her friends. He's from a hard drinking, but not abusive, dad and want's NOTHING to do with that kind of life. He's actually the adult in his home. So I guess Lewis has things to work on as well. But TODAY she's good. Just talking last night and this morning make me feel a lot more confident that she won't use. AND that she'll be okay! In fact I NEVER even brought it up about the drug thing.
