Hello bravopapa, and welcome to SR!

As the others have said, we can't tell you to stay or go.

We can share our own experiences with a loved one in addiction.

I was married to an addict (now deceased), I have a 33-year-old daughter who's an addict, and I am an addict in long-term recovery (20+ years).

Trust is earned, and of course you have difficulties with trust right now! That is only wise and prudent!

What is her plan after detox?

For me, I have to have a program of recovery in my life.

I'd recommend you read some of the sticky topics at the top of this board and educate yourself further on addiction.

Get your hands on a copy of the book "Codependent No More" by Melody Beattie.

Check into local Naranon or Alanon meetings in your area for face-to-face support among those who understand.

I am so glad you are there for that precious daughter of yours!
