Daughter
My daughter has a history of meth use as some of my older postings attest to. Just posting cause I am feeling numb now. Both my daughter and her boyfriend were almost a year free from meth, then my daughter started back. She moved out from their apartment, got fired from her job, and now living in some flop apartment or whatever they call it. Last few communications she texted and I could not decipher what she was saying. Now she has not been "online" for 10 hours- I know that doesn't sound like much, but she is usually available all the time, or at least frequently. Yes I am codependent among other things. I read postings here and they help me a lot to not feel like going insane. I try to give it up to God as much as I can or will allow I guess.

Muunray,
So sorry to hear that she relapsed, it's so heartbreaking to see that happen. Meth is a horrible drug and sometimes it's impossible to have a coherent conversation with someone on that drug.
Your daughter was clean for almost a year, so she knows what she needs to do to get clean. The question at this point is whether she wants to get clean. If she doesn't, there's nothing you'll be able to say or do to convince her otherwise.
Please take care of yourself. It's tempting to stop what we're doing and be on call for them 24/7 or try to monitor their actions, but that doesn't usually end well for us either. Have you gone to any meetings? Maybe it's something you can do to help you during this time.
Again, I'm so sorry you're going through this. The fear and worry from this type of situation can be paralyzing. Sending you a big hug.

I know the pain of watching a child self-destruct with drugs, I don't think there is anything that hurts a parent's heart more than that.
Sending hugs and prayers that she will reach out for sobriety once more.

It's not happening. She is again on the street after bouncing from place to place. She asked me this morning if she could come home for a bit. I know she has nothing, I saw her the other day, her shoes just shreds on her feet. I told her if she ready to get healthy, get counseling she is welcome. She declined. I have heard nothing since then.
