Getting to the truth is so hard. When my D18 was young I always said I wanted her to be able to tell me the truth; that that was more important than the consequences. I always wanted her to call if/when she was in trouble....no questions asked. Of course, that was easier when she was 8 instead of 18.

Is there a way to tell your D18 that you are upset because you care about her?....worried that she might be using drugs again.
Can you do a drug test next time she is home?.....heard you can pick up a drug test at the drug store (that sounds funny).

On top of all of that worry, are you meeting the mediator today? Good luck! Stay strong!!!
