obsessed

It has been a few weeks since I posted. Things are the same as they were. My 19 year old AD, Lauren is still out, she texts basically everyday and was home last Saturday night but asleep or should I say screwed up on methodone and laid in bed as soon as she woke up on Sunday morning asked me to take her to get her car and she would be right back after she went to the meth house where she "lives" with the boyfriend to get some clothes and I have not seen her since but its ok!!! She asked for money on Friday but I told her I was sorry but my car had been in the shop and I had spent $750 on it and I did not have it so the usual name calling and the I feel like I am crawling out of my skin but I did not give in!!! I was so proud of myself!!!! It is hard as hell but I am so much stronger now than I was 2 years ago when all of this started!!! I am still mad as hell that I am going down this road but can do and keep my sanity!! I still get sad and mad sometimes but for the most part take it as it comes!!!:atv

Obsessed, your daughter remains in my prayers, she sounds close to being ready but we never really know when that might be.

It's good you are taking care of yourself, in spite of the sadness addiction brings.

Deep breaths, keep moving forward, and keep the candle of home lit in your heart. There is always hope.

I Still Am Dealing With My Brother Who Got Off Methametaphine But Is Drinking....to Ease The Rest Of His Withdrawals.

Did Get Him To Agree To My Selling The Family Home And He Signed All The Papers So Am Out From Under A "drug House That He Was Running" Or Maybe He Didn't Know The Police Knew He Was Running One."

Such A Relief!

I Was Willing To Take A Three Year Contract With 8% Interest & Payments Of $800 A Month & A Balloon Payment At The End Of The Three Years. My Lawyer Drew Up The Papers And It Is All Legal...could Come Back And Bite Me But I Feel These People Are Pretty Responsible.

So glad you held your ground with Lauren regarding money. I know it is no fun to be called names etc. when you don't give in to their every whim, but I am proud of you!
I think the more I stood my ground, the easier it got.
HUGS to a great mom!

I do know how to spell proud.

For some reason I am unable to edit my messages.

Sorry for the slop.

Your a strong mom. Be proud of that. I was where you are
3 years ago. You do get stronger with time and practice.
Your daughter remains in my prayers. As do you.
I pray that rock bottom is close for her.
You need to talk, I'm here.
Love ya,

Boy, you sure have come a long way, girl. She is really getting the message that you are no longer a push over. I know how good that feels.

Hang tough...........Lo

I think you have made HUGE progress since you started posting here. I'm sorry Lauren is still "out there", but I'm proud of you for standing your ground.

Hugs and prayers!

It may get easier to say no to your daughter over time. You should be proud that you said no and meant it. Mom hugs for that!
I still have to stop and think sometimes before I speak to my AD (10 months clean) when she come crying with some problem or other. Because at times the whining doesn't change too much even when they are clean. Grrrrr.

You and Lauren are always in my prayers.
