[QUOTE="Fran, post: 357509, member: 3"] Mrs. McNear, what a sad story that we read about some of our kids. The self destruction and self degradation is so bitter a taste in a mother's mouth. Many, many hugs. It sounds like she is more of a dual diagnosis program candidate than just drug rehab or just mental health treatment. I don't recall if she has had been to a dual diagnosis type treatment center. It's obvious that she must be in a very structured setting until the temptation to run isn't so strong. She doesn't follow through when given any freedom or choice. She can't feel remorse for the child she abandoned or the remorse for the people she hurt horribly. Her hunger for drama is too great. My heart goes out to you. As I read your post I thought about the more innocent days of parenting where our biggest fear was the kids having sex too young or trying alcohol while underage. 20/20 hindsight tells us that it was just the gateway to a more terrifying world of dysfunctional self destructive behavior. At 21 you are so limited at what you can do to stop the downward spiral. All you can do is live your life as you please and hope it will be a beacon of peace to your little girl who is lost by her own choice. Her personal success is on her shoulders. When she makes better choices you can be more open to her but for now the distance will help you and will eventually help her. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
