[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people keep insisting that her daughter sought medical care? It’s highly unlikely that the daughter did that on her own. Much more likely her friends took her to the hospital (good for them!).

OP, I think you need the health care power of attorney going forward.[/quote]

OP here.

Yes, this is evidently what happened.

Bottom line is she appears to have been hospitalized for alcohol use and then invented a lie about being a victim of a crime when asked about the TikTok by one parent then the hospital bill by me. Told the parents different stories too, thinking we wouldn’t compare notes (we did, and we both agree it’s unlikely she was actually roofied).

[b]In my book,[/b]being hospitalized for alcohol abuse and then lying about it is a pretty big red flag that needs to be addressed. Especially if she wants even more freedoms next year, including a car I pay for and insure. As far as I am concerned, it is legitimate to be worried about a combination of a history of poor judgment with alcohol and access to a car when the party scene will be five or six miles from her off campus rental.

It’s weird some of you see that as “punishment.”

Evidently some of you are shitty parents who think I should just ignore and carry on. [/quote]
So what did your book tell you during her younger years? Good place to start there with the detective work. What you're trying to fix now will not be fixed, and likely be made worse. Figure out at what distant point in time had she decided that she did not want to trust you and be herself. Did you always talk to her in a legal and punitive way? How long ago, if ever, did you have a real parent to child heart to heart authentic relationship? Delving into speculative territory here, but it's not at all unreasonable to me that she doesn't want to be subjected to the same way you've addressed yourself in this thread. Maybe there was a reason she first turned to drinking that not primarily due to peer pressure.[/quote]
