Chic, please don't be so hard on yourself. I have no experience dealing with an addict that is my child, and I think those of you that do face some very unique circumstances compared to the rest of us. Detaching from your child is not at all the same as detaching from a spouse or partner or dear friend. It's not a "replaceable" relationship in the way that a marriage or partnership can be..... our children are our children forever & always. I have absolutely NO CLUE how I would handle something like this with DD... none. But just because you don't feel like you are a rocking success at this moment in your recovery doesn't make you a failure either.
I hope that things work out so that you can enjoy your grandkids this weekend & focus on all the positive & wonderful things & people in your life. ((((((HUGS)))))) Sending you lots of ~~~~serenity vibes~~~~~~ today!
