[QUOTE="tishthedish, post: 759446, member: 17103"] Kinjudith, You've gotten some really good advice. I was in a similar situation with both my sons. Al-Anon was suggested on this site. I had never heard of it but finally, desperate and at bottom, I dragged myself into a meeting. And another. And another. Little by little MY life started to turn around and I put the emphasis on MY. Also, something you said caught my eye... I don't know what stages your husband and daughter are in their recovery, but you cannot heal anyone but yourself. When I tried to do this with my family it was like my trying to put out a 4th of July fireworks grand finale with a squirt gun. Heal yourself first. You must be exhausted. These are adult problems caused by adults other than you. They need to pay their own way and give you a financial and emotional break. You sorely deserve it. Hugs and prayers are coming your way. Keep us posted how you're doing. You're surrounded by good people who care. [/QUOTE]
