First: You're drawing is amazing! Gosh... I sure wish I could draw like that... Do you commision and sell? You might think about if you don't. Where I work I have several people that come and show me what they paint and draw (as I'm very interested in it... studied art and art history for 3 years)... and you're is far better than most of them (and they make a living out of it!).
Your daughter... I'm sorry she's become a "problem"... I was a problem teenager myself... Anyway... I haven't had a drop of alcohol for 5 years, nor touched any drugs since then...
If you think your daughter might be having some sort of decease, please get her to a doctor. There's so many nasty things out there, not all might kill you (even though some do), but she might end up infertile. If she doesn't want to go, try using the shock treatment: "You spread your leg for everybody else, you might as well spread them for the doctor!" (I actaully used that centence to a friend... she went... she had a decease... she got treatment)
I really don't know what to say... in what I call "my drinking days" I would not listen to anyone. Let alone my parents. I had to wake up and realise what I was doing myself... I did... but it took me years. I wasted so much time and money. I caused so much heartache. It pains me so to think of the things I did and said, but I can't change the past. All I can do is to try and be a good person now. I wish... I wish... I wish no-one would end up on the track I did, as I didn't just mess things up for me, but worse than anything the pain I caused my parents. Unfortunatly, that was the last thinks on my mind...
All I can do is wish you luck... Good luck! and I hope your daughter sees her mistakes before it's too late.
Sylvie, KS' mom
