Hi Bluejaybruise:
I read your letter and it not only broke my heart, but reminded me of what is happening in my life right now.
In 2010 I got a call from a social worker asking if we would take our great-grandchild in as she was being put up for adoption. We didn't know the child and she didn't know us, but we took her in. We adopted her last year. She is now 5 years old. She is a beautiful child.
Her mother and father are both drug addicts. You would think that having this beautiful child would be enough to make them stop right? Wrong, they not only have not stopped but have gone on to have two more children that were adopted out!
In short, there is nothing we can do or say to stop them from using drugs. It's their call, in their time. If losing your children is not lesson enough, I doubt there would be anything we can use to wake them up.
Take care of you, never give up hope, but don't waste another minute trying to help someone that doesn't want help.
Prayers heading your way,
Devastated
