I was at a party tonight and a person who lives in the same town as my alcoholic daughter told me something terrible she had witnessed in the town - a violent and deeply troubling incident in which my daughter was involved last weekend.

I believed what this person was saying because some of the details matched with some things my daughter had already told me.

It has always been my fear that my daughter would sink to terrible depths and now I know for sure that it has already happened.

I'd rather not know.

I agree--there's serenity in not knowing. Sounds like your daughter may be in a free fall. Sending prayers that this will be her bottom.

:praying I know how you feel my daughter went off to South Africa years ago, I too imagine that she's found peace. At present my eldest son is in a terrible state. I hope your your daughter willl find her way through this and I wish you peace of mine. Lots of our kids get clean up and come back to us.
Keeping you in my heart and my most positive thoughts.

I'm sorry about your daughter. My son is also missing, 3 years now, and I like to think of him on the same beach as Carol's son.

We can't change what is, only they can when they are ready. But I don't have to carry their "what is" around in my heart every day. It gets too heavy.

Prayers for all our addict children.

Hugs

There is something so powerful that can be said for all of the parents of addicted missing children ... I just cannot find the words to do it any justice .

To come to a point in your life where you can truly let go and let God take over is amazing and speaks volumes about each of you . To be able to love so much that you can recognize when it is time to let go is truly a gift . You have been blessed .

I pray for you and for all of your children .. and my own young children as well .

Welcome ! Addicts share many characteristics/symptoms and most of them are not pretty. My son avoided me for 5 yrs. He thought he was sparing me.
I suffered just knowing he was an addict. When I did talk to him or see him it was hard to witness his sickness of mind, body and soul. After awhile nothing surprised me. Knowing or not knowing it all is sad. I did keep the faith I did have hope that he would get well. He is headed in that direction. I worked on myself... the pain my son caused me turned out to be a gift.
