letting go hurts like hell

Hello friends, first time on but looking for others in the same situation. I myself am in recovery and have 2 children still active. I finally let go of my daughter and she ended up overdosing with her children with her. Of course the children are now in DSS custody and I am in so much pain. There father overdosed 2 years ago and we lost him, I just get so angry at this disease.

Welcome to SR! I am so sorry for the pain you are going through, but you will find a tremendous amount of ES&H (experience, strength and hope) here, as well as a lot of people going through similar situations.

I am a recovering addict and have had to let go of my XABF because he is still active. I know that doesn't even compare to when it's your children, but there are a lot of parents here who can walk with you.

You are not alone.

Hugs and prayers!

Amy
