my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family . Know that you have a support family here that cares for you. I walked that road in October and it was reading the posts and the encouragement of others that kept me going. God does have a plan for all of us and know that He loves and cares for you. There is only so much we can do as parents. The rest is in God's hands. Place your daughter there as I am trying to place my son there too. I will not say that it is easy but there is no other way. I pray each night that God will open up my son's heart and help him to see that he is a valuable person........that he has worth and much to offer this world we live in . i will pray this for your daughter tonight.......God keep you in His care........dixie

(((Parent)))I am so sorry. Relapse can teach your child If she is ready to learn. It hurts like heck. My RAD age 21 had almost 7 months clearn, then relapsed for about 2 weeks. She is now about 6 weeks clean again, and working hard. So I am praying your daughter will catch herself and get back on the road to recovery.

I pray that your daughter finds her way back, that she learns from this relapse and that you find the peace to trust that her higher power has a plan for her recovery.... I'm sure you've heard it before. Relapse is part of recovery. My heart and my prayers go out to you and your daughter.

K, I'm so sorry...I know how painful this is.I t's so difficult as a mom to have to stand back and do what is so contrary to our natural instinct to protect and shelter our child. It helped me to know I was placing her in God's loving arms. Hugs and many prayers for your daughter and you and your husband.

So sorry parent - my AD relapsed too and I know how painful it can be - I am so thankful I can come and read the posts here at SR and find support - it is like dixied said - pray for them and turn everything over to God. God knows your daughter is worthy and valuable.

Sorry, can't spell this morning. "Checking" to see how you are doing. I truley feel for you. The recent relapse of my daughter, I could sence it, the motherly instinct. I would ask her if she was ok, & if she needed help. She would be "what do you mean?, I'm fine" Then I was on my way home on night & saw her car at a place it shouldn't have been (for a recovering addict) I came home & sat in my car in the drivewy for 40 minuets just sobbing. the next day was an appt with my counsler. I told her of the relapse. She was just so helpful. things I knew from here, but I was finally gettiing it, that I can't stop her. it is her journey. The next day my daughter called me & said mom I have something to tell you. I relapsed, I will be going to detox tomorrow morinng, they have a bed. I tried but I can't stop on my own. I din't cry, or yell. I said I was proud of her for picking herself up & getting help. She was so surprised the way I handled it. Parent, I hope you have some face to face support to help you throught this and know we are all her walking beside you. Sending prayers
let it grow!
