[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 478187, member: 59"] Kathy I am so sorry you are going through this, this is torture for a mother to have to endure. You are being torn apart. It is all so very sad. I've been through some pretty awful times with difficult child where we did have to callt he police to have difficult child removed, once during a freezing snow storm and she only had a flimsy coat and tennis shoes on. My heart was broken in a million pieces so I sort of know what you are feeling. There is no answer to this. Even if she were hospitalized from my experience it's only temporary and doesn't solve the problem. Perhaps when she is in a more rational state of mind you can tell her that you are willing to help her find a reputable sober house that she feels safe in and put the ball back in her court. Again I am so sorry. I wish we lived closer. Klmno I really don't want to say anything against al-anon because they are a godsend, but they will not deal with her current situation. They won't give her advice or even listen to her story. It is their hope that by going back every week you learn to live your life and not try to fix difficult child. That is fine in the long run and I certainly subscribe to it, but I went to so many meetings with so much I wanted to say and just be listened to and that's not in the agenda. It's why I wish those of us on this board who are living with addiction could have our own group, that we lived closer together to help each other. Nancy [/QUOTE]
