You and your husband need to intervene before she does herself some real damage.

Answer by Dustin S
You need to be there for her. As well as the father if not more so. I would suggest seeking professional help however, she will probably not want to go. You cannot force things upon her. She will (hopefull) reach a point at the bottom and realize something has got to change. As for now, you both need to talk to her, love her, hug her every chance you get. I would seriously suggest professional help.

Question by Princess: What is the book: “THE TRUTH ABOUT DIAMONDS” about?

Best answer:

Answer by REDY4NEthing
The Amazon blurb reads:

“As the adopted daughter of Lionel Richie, Nicole Richie has led a life of privilege among Hollywood’s elite. But despite its glamorous trappings, Nicole’s life has been anything but charmed. At twenty-three, she has survived a virtual combat zone of youth; facing adoption, divorce, drug addiction, a very public arrest and subsequent time in rehab. In this novel – the first of two in a series – Nicole takes readers behind the scenes to the real world of young Hollywood royalty – a world that no one knows better. The names have been changed but the stories are true, and the fabulously young, rich and famous characters in this story are real people with more drama in their lives than the characters they portray on TV – and in public.”

Answer by MEGAMI
Okay it’s about
a girl named Chloe Parker, who’s in her early 20s and had been adopted at age 7 by this music superstar and his wife.

So image a wild whirl-wind childhood tagging along with mommy & daddy to parties hosted by movie stars and rock idols, the press & tabloids always in your Business, dealing with the police, drugs, sex, & rehab.

now like I mentioned the story takes place with her in her early 20’s
she recently sky-rockets to instant fame of her own and almost over night as she begins her career as a spokes model for a national ad campaign.

Then suddenly her long-lost biological father appears out of nowhere.

As if that’s not enough to deal with her best friend decides to betray her. Now she must struggle to keep it all together the friendships she still has, her integrity and get this including her sobriety.

And what story would be complete if it didn’t contain a conquest for true love?

Hollywood celebrities. What followed was a wild childhood distinguished by parties with movie stars and rock idols, run-ins with the press and the police, and a subsequent stint in rehab.
TALK ABOUT DRAMA
Now what’s really kook is that it’s Nicole Richies novel So all that I can say is “do tell honey”

Here is what Pop Matters had to say online about it (There’s more so I’ve provided a link: http://www.popmatters.com/books/reviews/t/truth-about-diamonds.shtml

“The Truth About Diamonds follows rich socialite Chloe Parker, the adopted daughter of a rock musician, through her ill-fated friendship with a rich heiress, love affair with drugs, brief stint at rehab, a reality show, and a once-obese DJ boyfriend. Sound familiar?

To even further distance herself from Chloe’s identity, Richie makes herself a character in the book. Yes, there’s a character named Nicole Richie. And she’s the narrator and Chloe’s best friend. How very meta.

Allegations that Richie hired a ghostwriter have been floating about the Internet. True, sibylline words such as “clandestine” and “diaphanous” pop up with alarming frequency, but the writing, despite the fancy words, is so rife with cheesy clichés and heavy-handed metaphors, there’s little chance a respectable writer could have allowed them to find their ways into any manuscript”

Question by Kent: Y cant i leave drugs?

Best answer:

Answer by WobblingTop
Because you don’t meditate on the breath and you don’t have a support system for getting sober and you probably also have friends who also use drugs and are a bad influence on you.

Answer by Poppy
There is something called “addiction” that goes hand in hand with drugs. And when youre addicted to drugs, you’re basically powerless over any other choice in your life. If you’re too scared for rehab program, talk to a church and your family about getting you the help you need. Good luck.
