[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 671058, member: 19522"] [LIST=1] [*]Missing Jewelry, mine and heirloom [*]Missing Money [*]Missing Clothes [*]Missing Food [*]Missing Tools [*]Missing Gas [/LIST] It started out slow, you know, you start to think, "Maybe I'm misplacing things." The excuses are so good at first, both ours and theirs. We wouldn't imagine in our wildest minds, ever doing such a thing to our own parents, family. Then we started to realize, it's just not fitting, all of this missing stuff. Oh, it's never them. I think back now that our D c's become like those salesmen who will sell you anything, even if you don't need it, then reason with themselves, "If they are stupid enough to fall for it, they deserve to be hoodwinked." I think our D c's start to see us that way. Then the drugs take over and there is no Jiminy Cricket on their shoulders, no conscience. We are not even people to them anymore, much less family. Their drug friends became their family and we became the idiots trying to live normal, sane lives. With them at home we were [LIST=1] [*]Missing peace [*]Missing security [*]Missing safety [*]Missing time [*]Missing respect [/LIST] With them gone we were missing them. But as they came back and forth, back and forth, we were missing more things and most importantly, missing our sanity. In the long run, we finally realized addiction was first and foremost, there was nothing we could do for anyone who does not want to help themselves. Well, they did help themselves in a way. They helped themselves to our stuff, our money, our time. I encourage anyone going through this to really examine the behavior of their D c's and set boundaries from the get go. Boundaries for D c's and for yourselves. When your smack dab in the middle of it all caught up with the drama it is easy to drown in it. For now, I know the lightness you are talking about S&F, Sea, I hope you get there soon. It's hard, agonizing over our D c's. Try each day to do something nice for yourselves! (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
