My daughter, 23 is also coming out of rehab this week. She had been arrested and completed 28 days in inpatient rehab. I have many conflicting emotions myself. She is not living with me. But, now it feels like you're waiting for the next ball to drop. I'm glad we are not alone. It is a very sad thing to go through. I hurt so much more than she does for all the pain she has caused. I agree with the others. Be good to yourself. Let yourself experience joy. I have had a really hard time doing that, but I have started and actually heard myself laughing over the weekend, which sounded so unfamiliar to me. It's so hard not to obsess as a mom. But, our children have to tools to make positive changes in their lives if that's what they want. We've all had to make changes in our lives through the years. I will say prayers for all of you going through this. I'll also let you know how it goes here.
