Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

My sixteen yr old is gone again. Woke up this morning found her in bed with her 18 yr old boyfriend, and her 16 yr old friend on the floor with her boyfriend. She didn’t have anyone over when I went to bed. I kicked everyone out but her, we argued, fussed, and fought. I went to work and she evidently ran away…. AGAIN. She is in therapy, and we go to counseling, she is still failing school and has been caught with drugs and alcohol. Is there anything I can do…. Call the cops… send her to boarding school.. I have two other younger children, and it is destroying our home. Do I have to keep trying??

Mental illness and alcohol are factors; also last contact included some violence. Children are not allowed by father to discuss it openly, except to demonize mother. Counseling currently not an option. Looking for an age appropriate book, perhaps, that deals with loss – specifically loss by choice. A parent resource would be good also. I am aunt of children; concerned about possible feelings of misplaced guilt, anger, loneliness, love.

How can you help her when she won’t seek help? Yet she suffers emotionally. I don’t want to go into details, I know she is suffering. It’s not drugs or alcohol. It’s emotional pain and suffering.She has people who love her, but a lot of pain in her life. I pray for her. She is a nurse and knows she needs counseling but for some reason resists it. Will you pray for her to seek help?

I have talked to her. The police have talked to her. Im not sure if you are all in the US, but I am in Canada and I have looked for boot camp. Her and her 3 friends stole my van for a joy ride a few weeks ago while I was sleeping and you know what the cops said…because there was no damage and they brought it back I cant press charged. She is going to drug and alcohol counselling, but she lies there. Home schooling…that would mean that one of us would have to quit our jobs and financially that isnt realistic. She wouldnt do the homework at home anyway. She is totally defiant. I am hoping that someone who has been through something similiar can let me know what they did. I have done everything I can except send her to foster care. Serious answers only please….I am truly reaching out to anyone who can lend some advice.
