[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 675888, member: 19522"] I am sorry Rosie. This is very hard. My Rain is on meth, too, although she denies it. No psychosis, that I have seen, but she is not living with us, so I do not see her often. I "unfriended" my two. It was too painful to see their posts. I do not need that in my face all the time.....I know how it feels to not know where your child is. It is difficult. Admittedly, for us, much better and safer than having her at home. She has no boundaries, lies, steals, and brings drug characters around our home. Fellow meth users are her "family" for the time being, we are an "opportunity." First off, what SWOT wrote to you is true. Our girls are adults, will choose their paths and it has nothing to do with us. The drama, fear, darkness affects you, more than it does her. You need to find a way to separate your intense emotional feelings, and live your life. This is not easy, it takes time, and work , and it takes YOU, to learn how to value yourself. I know, Rosie, slip sliding into a deep hole, that is what this feels like. I am working day by day to climb up out of it myself. Looking at my 14 year old son, helps keep me more grounded and sane. You have your 12 year old boy. I ended up going to counseling, and getting help for my boy. I figured if I was devastated, so was he. It was a good way for him to safely get his feelings out. You may want to look into that, especially since your son witnessed his sisters bizarre behavior. Ala non, nar anon, all good 12 step programs that help with meetings and coping skills. Reading the detachment article in the PE forum. Looking at websites about meth. For me, reading and posting here has helped tremendously...... Rosie, you do not need to feel embarrassed or shamed. This is not on you, it is a choice your daughter made. Nice kids, make bad choices. Meth is a very insidious drug..... Please take very good care of yourself. Know that you are not alone. Meth use and abuse is rampant. My therapist told me it has hit hard in all areas in our society, doctors, lawyers, judges, housewives, rich people, middle class, poor, all ages. This is not your shame to bear. Reality has hit you very hard. I remember that feeling as it sunk in deep that my daughter was using. It is a bitterness to swallow. So, time to step into action for you, your husband and your son. Hold onto them tightly. If you believe in God, whatever your higher power, pray. Keep posting and sharing, this is a safe place, no judgement, just understanding and advice from folks who have been in similar situations. Extra big hugs to you, dear. Take very good care of yourself, be tender and kind to you. You are not alone, we are here with you. (((Hugs))) leafy [/QUOTE]
