Hi @Singlemum1 and welcome to our online community!

 

I'm sorry to hear that things have been really tough at home with your daughter. I can only imagine how stressful and hurt you must feel right now. This can be such a hard situation to manage, especially on your own, so I was just wondering what supports you have around you right now, is there anyone you feel comfortable talking to about this? Parentline is also a really great service that could be worth looking into for some additional advice. If you are up for a bit of reading, the Raising Children's Network has some really helpful information on Teens and drugs which could be worth looking in to.

 

Please remember that we're all here for you.
