I'm just sending a hug because I know how disappointing this can be. I too used to get my hopes up every time my son went to rehab and seemed to hurt more each time he relapsed.
I had to turn my hopes to me, to working on my recovery and my survival from the pain. It was the only way my life became worth living again.
My prayers go out for you and your children and step-child. I hate when children suffer too, it's bad enough for us adults and it must really hurt kids who don't understand.
Hugs to all of you.
