Just wanted to say...Welcome to SR!!!!
The mom of another addict here. My darling 29 year old daughter, the joy of my life is a junkie. She hurt her back at work a few years ago, (she was a nurse), was started on pain meds, and now is a homeless, junkie who prostitutes to get her next fix. I am currently raising her 12 year old son.
I just delivered my daughter to jail yesterday, and am heartbroken, devastated, are there enuf words to describe the pain?? But thanks to the angels on this site, I'm making it....baby steps....
Lots of good reading to do....Co-dependent no more...by melodie Beatty.....very helpful...(couldn't remember if someone else mentioned it?)
Welcome, we are all friends here, walking side by side, sometimes holding someone up....sometimes being held up!!
