From time to time I still struggle with wanting to protect my daughter from consequences because I have doubts about her ability to cope with the ups and downs of day to day, life without a relapse.
The bumper on her car hung over her driveway onto the sidewalk and she got a ticket for it. It was the end of the world for her and she was hysterical. My internal reaction to her hysteria was fear that she was going to go out and finds some drugs to numb herself.
So I talked her off the ledge and gave her some options including paying the ticket or going to court. ( Likely she did neither and just threw the ticket away).
Learning to control my reaction to her reactions is ongoing work.
