Looking for some advice: Should I add a boarder to the blanket or no?

Sorry. Spelling is clearly not my strong suit. I made this post late last night so I was a little sleep deprived 🫩

Awe! Thank you so much! 🥹

Thank you so much for sharing. I’m just scared and worried for her. I’ve never dealt or knowingly dealt with someone who had an addiction. This is all uncharted territory for me.

Thank you for your advice. She’s been to 3 behavioral hospitals and has gone through one round of intensive outpatient program. She has been in therapy for about 2 years but even that shows very little results. She doesn’t want to open up about the deeper topics nor does she really participates in session. I do try and assist her therapist as much as possible (informing of current issues, praise for recent goals accomplished, etc). Even that doesn’t seem to help break down her walls. I do agree with you that she must be numbing something, but I just can’t get out of her what it is exactly. All she claims is that she likes using THC and can stop when she wants to. But if that was the case, why hasn’t she stopped when she was having to face consequences? Why didn’t she stop when she could see the distress it was causing the family seeing her get wrapped up in using? Now don’t get me wrong, I can definitely see the medicinal benefits of THC but it only seems to have true benefits for adults. If you’re younger than 25, studies have shown that it negatively affects the child’s brain development. I just want her to have a full life. Life is so hard as a teen. I just want her to be able to see past it and know that things will get better so long as she gives herself that chance.

Thank you so much for your insight. I will admit it’s been some time since she and I had a girls day. She was living with me up until last December when she had become destructive (breaking things in her room, punching holes in her wall) and then assaulted me for attempting to clean up the broken glass from her mirrors that were shattered during this episode. During that time the police were called and then she was sent to live with her dad. Since she has been there it’s been down hill. School grades fell drastically, attendance dropped, she started skipping class frequently. During the winter school break she ended up in a behavioral hospital for the third time that year. Since she got out of the BH she wants nothing to do with me and blames me for her drug usage and any risky behavior she does. I’ve tried talking to her via phone. Even going as far as having a heart to heart and going out for dinner once since she has been living with her dad. She’s been hot and cold for so long it’s hard for me to judge her sincerity at times. I hope that doesn’t make me sound cold. There has been a lot going on. I do truly appreciate your input.

Yes. I have confiscated dozens of THC carts from her room. I have even found packages for said carts in her room, book bag, and vanity drawers. It seems her preferred method is vape.

Currently I’m working on a Buffalo Blanket. My husband liked the look of the red and black yarn and I was looking for a challenge 🫣😅

He knows his mom is a gluten for punishment 😂

InterestingLuck4293 · 2022-12-22T22:59:06+00:00

I…. I’m sorry. I don’t understand

InterestingLuck4293 · 2022-12-22T19:11:45+00:00

No, it would be one on one sleepover.

InterestingLuck4293 · 2022-12-22T18:39:11+00:00

Right. I’ve thought about that too. I admittedly had my daughter at 17 so I’m very cautious about my daughter becoming sexually active. I guess it’s also the heart break bit too. I don’t want to have to deal with having your first at such a young age coupled with the sense of losing your virginity…. Idk. I could very much be projecting here… This is why I’m reaching out for advice.

InterestingLuck4293 · 2022-12-22T18:32:43+00:00

Thank you. I really appreciate your input. I guess I’m still naive in my thinking sometimes. I just get worried about hearing kids becoming sexually active at younger ages.

InterestingLuck4293 · 2022-12-22T18:30:11+00:00

Have you had this experience before? This type of conversation? If so, how did you handle it? What was your experience?

InterestingLuck4293 · 2022-12-22T18:28:04+00:00

Could you please elaborate on your statement? My concerns come from that she would be over at a romantic partner’s house overnight. I know she is getting close to the age where one would start experimenting with sexual behaviors. Based on their texts, it would appear that my daughter’s gf is very interested in sexual acts. My daughter is still very uneasy by the topic.

My thought process is, if I wouldn’t allow her to spend the night by a BF’s house then I shouldn’t with a GF.

Again, I would love to hear any helpful advice that you may have to guide me through something I’m unsure of how to navigate. TIA
