So sorry to hear of your day/life. It is hard to deal with teens let alone when they have add and depression. I got a few of them myself. Depression drives even the best of the adults into a drink or cig or worse. Let alone a teen dealing with depression and then peer pressure out there from her friends. Try to step in and tell her that she is not to be around that other girl. Tell her dad that he HAS to step in and help you enforce the rules. I know that it is easier said than done but it is the best I could come up with.

Ah honey...I'm sending you some hugs...you need them...I was a teen much like yours and it took years of tough love from our entire family to help, but it did. DON'T give up on you baby!!

Try and start with a clean slate with her, do something ANYTHING with her, even if hubby doesn't want to join in. Sometimes my mom would take me out to lunch or shopping (even just window shopping) my Aunt would bake with me, my Gram would cook with me, my cousin would take me for coffee and just let me cry on her shoulder.

If she doesn't already have a journal, get her one. I know smoking is bad-I did it too. Try and talk to her and she what help she is willing to get, I know it's over stated but try and focus on her good habits and not her bad. She obviously needs attention and she is going to do whatever she can to get it-good or bad.

Sending you TONS of hugs, I feel for you!!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
