Hi @Skyblue welcome to ReachOut and thank you for sharing. I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling with your daughter's behaviour, it sounds like a very difficult time. Teenage years can definitely be trying times and even harder when drugs are involved. I'm wondering what supports you have in place and if your daughter would be willing to see a counsellor? Perhaps there is one at her school that she could talk to? I can see that you are located outside of Australia so I just wanted to advise that the resources on the forum are Australian based. I am going to tag some of our members for further support @Schooner @taokat @sunflowermom @motherbear We're here for you

Hi @Skyblue
I know its difficult when teens start acting out. Its so easy to take it personal and not know which way to turn. Do you have someone in your home and a close friend you can bounce ideas off of? Get some support for yourself by reaching out to a counselor. They can also help you get a grasp on what to do. Hopefully you can get some communication going with your daughter soon. We are here to listen.
It looks like you’re visiting us from a country other than Australia.
We are an Australian service and think you’d benefit more from looking up a similar service in your country.
You are welcome to look around the forums, but please don’t make an account or post, as we can’t offer you the help you may need.
Before you go ahead and post, you should know that we remove non-Australian accounts – not because we don’t want to help or connect with you, but because we may not be able to provide you with the service that you require.
