Hi, I might just be an overprotective concerned mom, but I'm worried my daughter is using heroin (or something else.) Am I right to worry? To give some background information:
She is 19 years of age and still lives at home with me and her dad. She is currently attending art and media college but she is not doing her best. She has missed deadlines for her assignments and just doesn't bother. She never bothers to look after herself, and which we have been called into the college numerous times. Still, she doesn't change her attitude, and has been on a downward slope since we had those meetings. One thing which I am worried about is that when I have given her money for food at college, she has not been using it and has instead said that she has forgot to bring lunch, in order to get money from her peers and the tutors. She's never had many friends and is socially withdrawn at college and at home she never goes out anywhere. So I don't know where she could have got anything, however I'm still suspicious.
She doesn't have a job either, and instead she does chores at home (washing up, cleaning etc) in order to get money for "travel". She apparently saves it all up for her future ambitions but I have never seen it. And she refuses to use her own money to pay for ANYTHING, insisting that she is saving it all up for travelling. Furthermore, I have noticed things going missing around the house, including cutlery such as spoons, and sometimes money has gone missing as well.
What do I do? She is tired all the time and apparently has no energy to do anything. She doesn't even care for her appearance at all and sleeps as soon as she gets home, sometimes through to the morning the next day.
What do you think? Am I right to be suspicious? Should I ask her about it? (I know that she will deny it even if she was using) but I'm just concerned about the way she is right now, that she doesn't seem to care about herself, and might have turned to drugs.
