58. Thks. I didn't mean to thread derail but the OP really prob does not have all the info to judge this

and I used my own story to try to shed some light on something that may look really "off" to an outsider....

I just do what the counselors advise right now. We're too "new' and raw from a wretched year of turmoil for me to feel safe at all in my decisions. As you know, the long term chances of my daughter beating this are pretty grim since her behavior and addiction went bad so fast. We had some counselors that advised letting her get arrested for prostitution and dealing because at 14 years old there'd be extensive intervention, but my heart just slams in my chest thinking about it. Our most terrible times were discovering multiple baggies in a room search, knowing that we'd just narrowly averted having other kids sucked in.

My awful episode in the car with my daughter, when I put her out, was because she had several bags of pot to sell in her backpack, not just the one I grabbed. She was prepared to deal at school! Heartbreaking.
