It does help to know I am not alone in dealing with this. I have never dealt with addiction before so I am learning as I go along. My daughter has underlying mental health issues, and she is bulimic. I can't help but feel that if she would accept treatment for the psych issues she might really want sobriety, too. I told her today that I have to let go. I will see her tomorrow before she moves back with the heroin addict. I am determined to put her in God's hands. I have to trust that His plan is what needs to happen.
It is very comforting to know that others have been where I am. I am grieving for the daughter I have lost, but I can't go on this roller coaster ride any longer. I cherish my husband, my other children and grandchildren and it just isn't fair to them.
I appreciate all the suggestions and sharing. Thanks for the support.
