Thank you so much for your response, I think I already knew much of what you said, I just needed to hear it from someone else. I want to do everything I can, but ultimately, I know there is not much. As far as what she is studying, I am not really sure. She has changed her major so many times, it's hard to keep up with her classes. Until recently, she wanted to be a sportscaster, but now she wants to be a lawyer. Regardless of what her major is, I would assume at this point she is primarily working on basics. She partied her first year, so she said now she needs to get her GPA up to get into law school. As a nurse, I understand the pressures of college. I told her I remember many times looking at the calendar and scheduling when I would be able to sleep ( I worked full time too, so I know what you mean). She has it in her mind that college is harder now than it was for me...way back then...I graduated 17 years ago, but I don't think college has changed that much! She does not work full time, but does belong to a soroity, that she says she has to do to help her career later. I keep thinking if she can't handle school without the stimulants now, how is she going to handle law school? I don't think she has any scholarships, just a lot of student loans. Her parents (my sister is her mom) have recently divorced, so she has a lot of anger issues. Regarding the babysitting, I go back and forth on whether to say something or not. The information I got off of facebook, was a post she put on when she was babysitting on Wednesday night. When she called me last night, she said she had not slept for 3 days, so I am figuring from her own timeline, she was in the insomnia state of mind. I thought about asking her, but I am trying to tread lightly right now. I don't have actual proof, but I have a pretty good idea, thus my hesitation in saying anything to the mom. Plus, the mom is on facebook too, and has access to all her posts about the sleep deprivation, just not the drugs. I may just wait, and see if she is asked again to babysit, and then mention it. I will have to think more on that one. Thanks again for your response, it's nice to just have someone to bounce information around:)
