Hugs to you Kellster - this is not the group we thought we would be joining while we were raising our children - but, since we are here at this point in time in our lives, you will find great experience, strength and hope on these boards. My daughter, 25 has been using some type of substance for the last 10 years. Right now, she is 4 months C&S -- I try not to think about the negative and try to stay present and Take One Day At a Time.. I also try to put my needs and happiness in the forefront and not let her life be my focus. Even now, I still find her behavior problematic - but she is still maturing out of her previous lifestyle, which I suppose is unchartered territory...
