Yournotalone

Hello I have decided to reach out to this site to know I'm not alone in my struggle with an addict child. I finally said no to another request to run and pick her up. Hearing the words "I'm sick and need help" ripped at my heart and for a moment I almost did but the memory of our last time together and the violence that was put apon came to mind quickly. So I said NO and explained why only to hear the backlash once again. I know she's hurting and in pain but I'm no longer her punching bag. I love her more then I can say and pray she gets well but I am no longer being apart of her life. I'm looking for peace with my decision . Wishing all the best

Hi and welcome Yournotalone
You'll find a lot of help and support here

As hard as it must be to say no, speaking from the 'other side' I think you're doing the right thing for yourself and your child.

No, you're not alone. Many people here are struggling with the same problem. We have friends and family forums for the loved ones of addicts/alcoholics.
