[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 605141, member: 15796"] (((HUGS))) I SO remember when I heard the words crystal meth. Devastating. I am so sorry. MWM and Nancy are right. He has never been serious and he is the only one that can do [I]anything[/I]. It took me a LONG time to realize and accept that I am truly, truly powerless. We all are. No one can get clean but them. THEY have to want it. THEY have to do the work. We can't get clean for them and even though we want it so bad for them - it doesn't change a thing. I honestly feel that the BEST thing I have done is back off and not try to "save" her anymore. Take your easy child to college. Enjoy every moment of being with HER. Remember, you don't get that moment back. I know how badly I ached to experience that with my daughter...please savor it. :) [/QUOTE]
