How dense am I? I got taken by my cousin...?

My cousin/god-daughter was left to watch my house. I came back and it was in shambles. I seriously thought that it had been broken into until I realized that things like the TV and DVD and computer were still there. But there was food and trash all over the place, thrown where ever it landed, rotting away and tons of flies all over everything. Used condoms in my bed, shreds of TP and rolls of it everywhere. (wtf is that about?) Blunt wraps and empty weed sacks all over.

It took me and my husband 3 hours to pick up 5 bags full of trash (but yet when we got here the trash can was empty) and three full loads of dishes to clear the main mess. In the end, I realized my Nintendo DS was missing and my piggy banks had been raided. Luckily I had hid my jewlery well enough (not protection against her, but just in case) that it was safe.

But I should have known. Since she was 15, she lost alot of weight, and my other cousins told me that she was doing crystal and thats how she lost it.cont

In my opinion you are not dense, just used. People that abuse drugs get by for much of the time, as if they did not. Our conditioning is to see people we love, as loved. Mistakes and addiction affects so many. Rehab inpatient her as*. Internet security issue? So change your password, and forgive yourself, and her. But no more trust. That is the biggest issue, loss of trust. Sorry folks. The war on drugs is a miserable failure. Peer pressure, and innate desire for altered states ensure there is an expanding market for vast quantities, whatever their cost.
Reply:I grieve for your loss; your loss of the profound bond, and the innocence.

When a young adult says 'my cousin is cool' it is not necessarily a good thing. It can signal an 'under my thumb' attitude, alas. "She's cool, (ignorant)." Report It
Reply:Press theft %26amp; vandalism charges against her. Your not doing her any favors by just letting it go. She will just keep doing this until someone stops her in her tracks. She needs a wake up call.



By the way you arent dense just naive. Dense would be if you trusted her again.
Reply:Wow, I really do feel bad that all of that happened. It sounds to me like your cousin/god-daughter needs a wake up call, seriously. If she is doing drugs, get her help. Someone has got to intervene before this gets any worse
Reply:if her mother doesnt mind. you need to send her little *** to boot camp or juvy. somebody has to stop her. ice at 15 is pretty bad. she'll be dead by 21. she needs to be locked up somewhere for a few years if anyone cares about her. show her dumba$$ some of those pictures of meth abusers brains with huge holes all in them. thats probably the problem now. shes smoked herself retarded. help her out but dont let her back in your house.
