[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 656406, member: 18516"] Hi TTA, Oh the self doubt, nothing like a good dose of that to turn your resolve into mush. Sometimes you just have to go over it again and again in your head until your heart gives up. The "mom" in us always wants to make it better, to fix whatever it is that is hurting our child. In reality there is nothing more you can do. Even if you could pay for the finest rehab their is no guarantee that your daughter would stay sober. Until your daughter wants help and wants to change the course of her life their is nothing more you can do. It sounds like you have a pretty good grasp on what it is to let go but understand it's not something that just happens, it takes time, it takes effort, it takes reminding ourselves of why we are doing what we are doing. If you have not done so already you might want to attend an al-anon meeting and/or get a personal counselor. It's not easy dealing with our Difficult Child. It's important to let your daughter know that you love her but that you will not support her lifestyle. Do not give her money. Hang in there, I know how hard it is to be where you are but you can get through this. Stay close to this site, keep posting, we are here for you. ((HUGS)) to you............ [/QUOTE]
