nice to meet you, erin. my daughter is an alcoholic/addict, and i sure can understand the heartbreak over the lies and manipulation. have you thought about going to alanon meetings? do you have insurance for private counseling?
please be patient with and caring to yourself through this difficult time.
one thing i learned in alanon is i have no control over my daughter's choices/actions but i do have choices how i let them affect my life.
support out to you and your boyfriend in this time of recovery.
keep posting! there's a friends and family section here that's helpful too!
hugs, k
