[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 652155, member: 17461"] This is the phrase that will help you be strong. Post it on the fridge, and keep an index card with this phrase on it in your purse. The phrase will give you strength because it is true. One of the hardest things about surviving a child's addiction is figuring out how to feel about ourselves and our children. Try not to catastrophize. That is torturing yourself, and there is pain enough, already. There is strength in taking it one day at a time. There is strength for you in the phrase "It is what it is". Has this child been in treatment, already? Has she graduated high school or does she have her GED? It helped me to develop new facets of self, to challenge myself in some way. It was the only time I could stop thinking about what was happening to my child. If you could try a new thing, explore a new facet of self, what might it be? Cedar [/QUOTE]
