[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks, just wanted to know if this was normal or not.

She does talk about alcohol and drugs with me.

I think it would help for me to understand possible ways the therapist would respond to substance use issues as pp said theirs shared. This therapist has a religious background according to DD and has said a few things to DD that she noticed were unusual. But not dealbreakers, just made me wonder and feel uncomfortable in general.

I have talked about my views on using with the therapist, therapist agreed absolutely would not be healthy for DD to drink even a little and suggested some additional ways I can respond that she thiught might work. Therapist thinks I'm doing a great job blah blah blah.

It's just if DD wants to purposefully choose to self-destruct, absolutely I'm not responding the same as if she wants to at least try to show up healthfully in her life.

Like she tries something, doesn't like it, therapist responds helpfully, dd doesn't do it again anytime soon - great. She starts gaslighting me and starts using therapy to talk about cool drunk stuff at parties - not great. I can't afford that. I have limited resources and if thats the case she can do therapy when she's attempting healthy habits, now or when she's older.[/quote]
