My daughter with her 3 young children had no electric or heat. DFS is envolved. She was then staying with her cousin but that came to and end. Her and her boyfreind were staying so blitzed they didnt even know where there were at most of the time. Friday morning the boyfriend OD'd is on life support. My daughter wouldn't even tell the paramedics what he was on so they could get quicker medical attention. She kept saying he was clean. How sad. She tells me that too. Even about herself..she's clean if you ask her. She stays away from me if sh's doing bad. I can't even have a conversation about her addiction because she claims she is clean.
Tonight I think she is staying in the home without heat, electric or water. It's so sad that she can't find her way out of this addiction. I know she has to do it herself. I don't know if she'll get her kids back...not now anyway.
I hope and pray this will be her bottom and she'll find help. What a sad way of life. She's my child, I love her but I sure wanted better. There is nothing I can say that will change her reality because to her she's not using.
Oh, this is so sad. My heart is just breaking for you. I am very sorry you are having to go through this--all of you actually. You and your daughter and her family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am glad you are here. You are not alone.
This is very sad, but you sound like you know what is happening with her disease and are at peace with it. Step 1, we have no control. Peace be with you.
My prayers are with you and your family. I can relate, both my adult children are A/A's, my daughter is currently more actively using and more dysfunctional in her life style, her 7 y.o. daughter lives with her dad in another city, she hasn't seen her since Dec. A few months ago I thought my dr had reached her bottom and would seek help, but that didn't happen. I'm learning to leave it as much as I can, in God's hands, I'm learning to keep God really big in my life, but I do get tired. You are not alone.
