Ugh...

Yeah, I went through it with my AXGF. It was not a pleasant experience.

I hate even typing this, but I'm going to anyways: my AXGF was more pleasant when she was high. Of course, I didn't know she was high. But the difference between her high and her clean was considerable. The opiates did a bang-up job suppressing her true core. Bit by bit, little by little, the real her came out. And it was ugly.

Then again, my AXGF is Borderline. Your daughter, to my knowledge, has not been diagnosed with a character disorder (which is a blessing, believe me). So it may be that your daughter is feeling everything that was suppressed while she was using. And that cannot be easy.

So, keep your head about you. Work on you, and allow your daughter to go through the process of, well, coming alive again...
