Indeed, on one memorable occasion, a social worker with whom I discussed the case in an effort to obtain their help actually said to me Mr Anonymous, you have done everything I could possibly suggest. We really exist to help the dysfunctional and those incapable of helping themselves, so I'm sorry, there's nothing else that I can say.<BR/><BR/>I hate to say this, my friend, but be prepared for it to get worse - much worse - before it gets better.<BR/><BR/>And no, our daughter didn't take drugs, either. <BR/><BR/>Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149296713213520917.post-20183850309402179282007-04-24T12:51:00.000+01:002007-04-24T12:51:00.000+01:00Hi Steve,I, being a father of a 2.5 year old boy, ...Hi Steve,<BR/><BR/>I, being a father of a 2.5 year old boy, think of these things.

I don't know what to say in response to this, it is a very difficult situation for you. You must be worried about your daughter and hope she does not become an addict who steals and whose life becomes uncontrollable. I sincerely wish you the best of luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
