[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 760452, member: 15032"] Welcome and glad you found us. I agree with everyone here. I believe I am the first mom that Copa is talking about. After many years of our son being addicted at home and raising holy hell on an almost daily basis, stealing from us etc. etc., getting clean then starting it all over again (wash, rinse, repeat) I knew we had to get him out of our home as we didn't know what to do and he was not getting any better. And dear old mom was losing her mind!!! You personally CANNOT FIX THIS. When I heard that for the first time, I was like "what??? what do you mean I can't fix this? Mom's fix everything"!! I agree not to give her a dime and not having her live at home is probably what is best for your other family member and yourself as well as for your daughter. I would highly recommend finding a therapist for [I]yourself [/I]that specializes in addiction. That is what I did and she was very knowledgeable and compassionate but helped me to create firm boundaries and stick to them. If not for this therapy, my son may not be alive right now. A good friend of mine lost her son to a heroin addiction shortly after my son was no longer out of control and getting his life back on track. I tried to school her on what I had learned and continued to learn about addiction but it was not something she could handle. To learn how to cope you have to [B]accept [/B]what is really going on and that is very difficult for us to do. Of course the main reason we pulled through this horrible time in our life is because of my faith and at last resort placing my son in a Christian program in Memphis. We lived in Chicago at the time and moved for my job but will be returning to Chicago when we retire in a few years. If you pray, then I would turn your daughter over to God and pray for your own peace. Stay with us and let us know how you are doing. :staystrong::angel: [/QUOTE]
