Twofish I am sorry you had to deal with this. You have had such a struggle but I can see how far you have come in trying not to be codependent. You did the right thing! The horrible manipulation, trying to make you feel bad is the drugs talking.
I know how very difficult this was for you to do but you really did the right thing and need to take care of YOU. If she really wants to change she will
Much love and hugs to you.

TF: Adding to your thread: My son moved out a couple of years ago (ushered to the door), seems to cope better, is more responsible, is making it on his own. He visited our home this past weekend, where a family dinner that started out very nicely ended up in a nasty confrontation; I feel terrible that it came to this but knowing we each have our own place and space really helps me to move on and stay sane.
Hoping you are doing well at this point in time and are experiencing peace and goodness. Take care.

Yes that heartache does hurt. It lingers on along with the worry....
She has contacted me this weekend...a good talk....she tells me she has
been sober for a month now (who knows?) and is going back to school.
It felt comforting to hear her voice and know that she is alive...but I know
what's coming, she "might" want to move back in. She says she goes to
meetings and has sober friends but wants to have a closer relationship
with me...she turned 22 on Sunday.
I will have to be strong with huge boundaries before I consider that idea.
I have missed her so much.
My older daughter, with my beautiful grandson, I haven't seen or
heard from her in months. That's a huge heartache too.
I pray for them all every night. It's just all so sad.
I am very grateful to my caring SR family
