Today, my daughter told me she would rather hang herself than hang out with me. All I did was remind her to go to bed at a reasonable time to get some sleep for an activity she likes doing. FML

Today, I was going to my prom. My mom knows I want to drink so to prevent me, she made sure I took my prescription medicine before I left. I guess her way of stopping me from drinking is killing myself If I do. FML

Hence the word "Raising" Meaning, you should still be able to teach her and help her understand.

Instead of being on here posting this, you should try being a better parent and teach her right from wrong.

Because medicine of any other kind (herbal, bullshit, etc) would make the situation any different.

Well, she's not 100% wrong, but still, YDI because you raised her.

People have minds of their own. Just because OP raised her doesn't mean this is OPs fault.

Don't encourage her either....if you find it humorous now, don't be sorry later if she does become an addict.

I don't think OP finds it humorous...

Ah I can see it now the newest hit show my daughter the future drug addict, coke and sleeping pills. That's got a slick hook to draw the viewers in. Big ratings screaming fans, and you thought Beatle mania was crazy, they'll have nothing on her.

You really want to watch the sleeping pills, insomnia may be the result of a more serious medical condition. They are also habit forming and you can be enabling her to do so. Remove them from the house if you can't use discipline to control her.

Removing them from the house may do no good. I bought sleeping pills when I was 16 and again when I was 17. She could do the same without questions unless she is younger.
