My daughter has relapsed.
Her bank just called - they blocked her account. Obviously, she will be fired from her job, too. She lives with me. I am 73 and afraid of her. Can I change the locks? Any advice?!
Im going through this with my husband.....its defentley not easy to deal with.
I would suggest changing the locks....and Depending on how she treats you I would suggest a restraining order to protect yourself. Even if its a temporary one....it would protect you from her rath until she was over her anger.
But changing the locks will protect your possessions in the house....my husband has stolen many things from me. Addicts dont care what they do to get their drugs.

So sorry to hear about your fear and your daughters relapse. Change the locks. Will that keep her out?
Protect yourself by informing the police if there is an incident, jail for your daughter would mean detoxing so be open with the police as they can put that information in their reports and pass it on to the courts if an offense occurs. I think information about addictions should be shared because this does help the addict, the people we love!
The more I read about bipolar disorder the more I think it's what happens to a person addicted to drugs both mental, behaviourly and emotionally. And then they go and drug that too.......wish I had shares in drug industry.
I am experiencing the same but my young son is in jail for the first time. He is safe and almost sober? I am surprised at how well I am dealing with this matter but this message board and people like you sharing what you are experiencing gives me the strength I need to cope. It is a day to day thing. Sometimes minute by minute.
I went for a walk today and I found some poems, a page of 4. I was thinking about how many times my son has lied to me....he is so bad at it! Here is the first to catch my eyes.
Lying on things
After it snows
I go and lie on things
I lie on my back
And make snow-angel wings
I lie on my front
And powder-puff my nose
I always lie on things
Right after it snows.
