I just re-read my last post. I sounded very cold when I talked about my youngest Daughter and her addiction. It really is the opposite. I have learned to detach myself as it is very painful and can consume my life. Been there. I used to cry everyday and could barely function. I paid for motels, apartments, spent a lot of money. I thought that I was helping her but I was enabling her. Before she turned 18, I had her committed to a hospital rehab. She then attended a out patient program for 6 months. Within a few months of finishing the program she started using again. She has gone to support groups but hasn’t gotten real about treatment. Our family has no connection with her. I understand as who wants to be around the drama. I pray that one day she will accept treatment. I fear she may overdose or be hurt or killed. They didn’t show up at my place. I will see her next week.
