We thought our daughter was just a 'typical teenager', rebelling against our authority and refusing to follow the rules, until her lifestyle got out of hand. She just made it through Grade 12 and then her primary focus became her social life which encompassed the regular use of alcohol and drugs. She could not hold a job nor was she interested in pursuing any further education. She stopped participating in our family activities and only wanted to hang out with her friends. She now had a steady boyfriend who moved into our home with us, as they were preparing for the birth of their baby boy.
