[quote=Anonymous]You are emotional and going to get a lot of advice on here, most of it you should ignore. Be mad. Vent to us. Say whatever you want to us but not to your kid. No, you don’t disown her. We don’t know if you said that in anger. You probably did. Look, a teen might not care if you start giving her a million facts about smoking and guilt about the relatives. But you have to try in a calm manner. When everyone has calmed down, you have a conversation about disease and addiction. I’ve talked to my kids about how addiction runs in the family and who has overcome it and their struggles and who has died. I don’t sugar coat anything. I tried smoking and DH regularly smoked when he was younger. Neither of us smoke as adults. DH still struggles with the urge, that didn’t go away. He will talk about it. [/quote]
