Thanks Kpat for your post! I do not give up hope that my Daughter will seek help for her addiction. Even though it is a hard situation, I pray a lot about it and I am glad that my faith has helped me deal with what she is going through. I will keep going to support groups (here it was Alanon but now they have opened support groups through Narcotics anonymous). There is a big heroin epidemic here. Very sad! My Daughter never called or text me back. She is upset with me because I asked to leave my home. When I am in the city again in a week, I will have another talk with her and impress to her what her addiction is doing to me and how I am going to deal with it. I tell her everyday how much I love her and when I see her I hug her and don’t want to let go. But I have to protect myself too and sometimes I have to do things to accomplish that, things she doesn’t like. I woke this morning with a water leak coming from my front turn off for the water. It was running down the street gutter to the end of the street. (about 1/2 block) I called the city but they came out and said it is on my property. I had some work done in that same area in June by a local plumber and I wonder if one of the pipes he replaced is leaking. The owner of the company is coming out tomorrow morning. I turned off the water. Always something. I will have to spend the night with my Mom so I can shower in the morning, ect. My Sister and Mom had a arguement the first day she was here. She told me about it. I didn’t say anything to my Mom about it. My Mom was bad mouthing my Sister today, real insignificant stuff. I stopped her. I told her that I didn’t want to hear it. She did stop! I don’t want her to alienate my Sister as we do have fun when she comes up and she and I are rebuilding our relationship. Sorry for the long post. I just had a lot to say. Have a great gamble free day everyone.
