We're worn out but feel guilty about cutting her off financially. By the way, on top of the addiction she is also a lesbian and keeps getting involved with girls who are also addicts and have emotional issues. The drama when the relationship fails usually ends up with our daughter relapsing or doing something else negative.
As a father of two, I was going to answer your question sincerely...then you posted this. I'll pass.
Hopefully she turns her life around regarding the drugs.

This sounds like a job for Dr. Phil

No offense, but you shouldn't be posting shite this personal on a open message board.

get her on Dr. Phil and have that sergeant guy yell at her.
but seriously, you are responsible for her being addicted to shite at 14.

Nonsense, there's another thread going about people wanting to frick their mothers, this seems like the perfect place.

When I read the title I was thinking you were referring to a child prodigy...
I guess this would be the exact opposite of that.
Good luck.

adopted = not really your kid
so you're ok to write her off when you want
it's probably just in her genes to be a loser

I would say I am amazed at the personal shite people post on here, but I really am not amazed anymore.
It's pretty damn normal these days.

Sounds like a shite storm bro.
Maybe she needs a good dicking to turn things around.

If you have no other kids, I'd likely say keep trying. But if you have other kids that she's stealing your time from, I'd let her go. Always love them as you have but you can't make them be responsible. Giving her money and providing any financial support at this point just fuels her destructive ways. She needs to learn to be responsible. You've done all you can.

Damn dude, that's pretty fricking harsh.
To the OP, have you considered it from her point of view? You sit here and say she's doing too many drugs. But maybe the way she sees it, you're not doing enough drugs. Maybe you should meet her in the middle and try dabbling in some coke every now and then to get some perspective. Just food for thought.

At what point does a parent tell their kid "good luck" with your life, but we will no longer be your ATM but will be here for you if you want a parent/child relationship and you are committed to sobriety?
Pretty much never. I wouldn't keep "being an ATM," but a true parent never stops being a parent.

First, I would like to point out this is probably a troll thread. But,
My wifes mother passed several years ago and we took her brother in and brought him to our house. It was a move across the country for him. He was 17. He had been in and out of juvenile and was in trouble a lot, mostly because he hung with the wrong crowd. He truly was a good kid. He couldn't read, struggled in school, was a project for sure. We put him in a GED program and eventually got him in JobCorp. He lasted a weekend at JobCorp as he got in trouble for drinking and he didn't even bother to come home and face us. He got a bus ticket and headed straight back to where he was from.
Fast forward to now and he is in and out of jail. The only time we hear from him is when he is in jail. One, because I think he may get lonely, but I think the main reason is because my wife put money on his books so he can buy Ramen and soap and whatever else you buy in the pen.
Best of luck to you man, but it sounds like your situation is similar to ours.

I'm betting troll/alter. You don't just come in with that on a first post.
