[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 669111, member: 19522"] Hello Devastated I am so sorry for your pain, it is a difficult place to be. I have been posting here for a short while and have found much comfort from the kind souls who have walked similar journeys. It is a hard thing to try to help our adult children and have them steal from us. I was thinking about it and figuring that we are easy targets, because we continue to try to help. The article on detachment in this forum is very good. Please read it. It helped me see some familar patterns. No one here can tell you what to do, it is your decision. We can share what we have experienced, in reading others stories, it helps to sort through the maze of emotions. For myself, I have decided to not have a relationship with my daughters until they quit drugs. It has been way too painful. They do not care how they hurt us or their siblings. It is too hard to keep trying, I have lost so much of myself In doing that. They have just gotten more mean and nasty. No one deserves to be mistreated. You are important, you matter. I hope Devasted you continue to post and share. Others will come along. You are not alone. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
