Thank You. I actually thought today that maybe I should sit down with a pen and paper and write down some ground rules for my daughter. When I first realized what was going on, my plan was to force her into sobriety. I quickly learned from this site that by doing that, I would only physically and mentally exhaust myself.
So I was thinking that I would write her a letter telling her how much we love her and what we are willing to do to help. Then I wanted to make sure she understood in advance what we are not willing to do.
1) We are not willing to let her live here while she is using.
2)The minute something is stolen, she will have to leave. (We have already gone through that and will not go through that again.)
3) If she gets in trouble legally, I will not help her financially.
So on and so on.
Has anyone done this? I feel like if she is not to deep into this than this could help her see what she will have to face?
I'm sorry for what all of you are going through or have gone through. I know that heroin is very big in my area but to actually hear from other parents going through it breaks my heart.
