[quote=Anonymous]The anonymous route seems better than telling the parent face to face. Think about it. If someone told you your Larlo is shooting up heroin when you are completely clueless, what would your reaction be? You would be likely to defensively lash out at the person and wonder what their agenda was for saying such awful things about your child. This could drive the parent deeper into denial. Better to send something anonymously so that the parent doesn't have to deal with face saving and can use as much time as she needs to process it. Also vote for the approach of getting OP's DD to convince kid to get to NA if she can. There the kid can get support for telling his parents himself, which is the best way for parents to hear this.
