Monique and P, thanks for your posts. My heart does go out to the family of the young woman who died. It was hard enough losing my husband. I can’t imagine losing a child. I can’t even think of whats going on in my daughter’s head. I know she loves her family but at this point the drugs are her life. I hope she contacts me soon. Cat, I ask myself why? all the time. For along time, I carried a lot guilt that both of my daughter’s were addicts. I worked through it with counseling and both of my daughter’s have told me that I did nothing to cause them to do drugs. That I was a good Mom and that they made the choice to live that lifestyle. It’s still is hard to take. I pray that she won’t die of a overdose or a violent crime. She has been arrested for petty crimes and I left her in jail once for 2 weeks. It was the hardest thing that I have ever done. I thought she would not want to return and would straighten out her life but I was wrong. All the attempts to try to get her to go to rehab have failed but I won’t stop trying. Hopefully she will want to try at some point.
