[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 676026, member: 19522"] Welcome to the forum Autumn, I have to tell you that fall is my favorite time of year.... I am so sorry for your troubles and your need to be here. It hurts when our d cs make terrible choices like this. My #3 is 27 as well, but I think she is more around 13, [I]in her thinking[/I].I know there is such a thing as a dry drunk, probably the same for addicts, maybe clean, [I]but the habits and tendencies are still there.[/I] My eldest, would steal from us, but has not (crossing fingers) gone this far, but given the opportunity, probably would. I have heard she is involved with credit card theft, she is out of the house and will stay out. My hubs is also ill, with chronic kidney disease (stage 3), diabetes and heart condition. He was hospitalized two years in a row, with a life threatening heart infection. This did not stop either of our two d cs, from their destructive paths. They will both deny hard drug use, until they are blue in the face. The last I saw of my Rain, she is homeless, and appears every so often, I told her how hard this is on her ill father, she looked at me and [I]said with malice and venom......[/I] "Well, how do you think it is for ME?" UGH....... I think the hardest thing for hubs, is knowing his time on earth is shortened by his illnesses, and wanting desperately for his children to have better lives. He grew up in a very dysfunctional family, and worked hard his whole life to provide more for his kids. The thing of it is, be it drugs, mental illness, our d cs are adults, and [I]we have no control over their choices. [/I] I hope you are able to sort through all of this. The end all for us, was that we have our 14 year old son, who deserves a peaceful home. This helped my hubs to redirect his focus, to our son. Our two, left the house in a dramatic exit four months ago, and I am working hard at [I]emotionally[/I] detaching now. Sifting through the intense feelings. It gets better, day by day. You and your hubs have much to live for. [I]Life is so short, and so precious[/I]...... It is up to your daughter to follow through with her words, with actions. This is all so hard. Take good care dear. You are not alone. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
