My daughter has told me that having no responsibility really appealed to her. She did not have to try to meet anyone's expectations and she could do what she wanted. Her abf does not require her to work. He does and supplies all of her drugs. But the thing that she is finding out is that her life is a lot more work than she thought it would be. The abf no longer can provide drugs and a home, health care, contacts, dental appts. etc. But he can still provide drugs and so she stays. So a lot of times it is the lifestyle as well as the drugs that appeal to the young addicts. Maybe time to take that step back. Right now you are probably filled with anxiety about going home to find her gone. That is a tough way to live so sending some hugs your way. Marle
