What can I do to help my daughter that is a crack addict? I found out that she was addicted in 2002 and it has been a battle since. She has been in detox/rehab at least 4 times and at this time she swears that she is clean, but I am seeing signs that it is just more lies. She leaves the house at odd hours and stays gone for 3 sometimes 4 days, when she is here her bedroom light stays on til 3 or 4am and then she wants to sleep all day. We have verbal battles and have almost come to blows at least twice. She has lived with us for almost 2 years now and has had one job that lasted 3 months in that time period. After being gone from Thurs. til noon Saturday she came in with a severly blackened eye. She says she tryed to break up a fight and caught a elbow. When I asked her "exactly when did it happen?" I couldn't get a straight answer. Last night I got a call at 3 am from a guy that was able to tell me who she was hanging around with and that she is "out there again doing crack" It is driving her father and I crazy as to what we can do. If we try to make her leave our house she won't go and pleads that she has no where else to go. We don't give her any money, just food and shelter, are we still enabling her? |

Dear Oncewise - Please find out where the nearest Naranon meeting is and go. Post what you've posted here in the Naranon thread in this forum. That's the group that can help you with all these questions. One of the things you'll understand even better is that you can't make addicts recover - they have it want it themselves. But again - Naranon is where to go with your understandable concerns. best to you - Guy |
