[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 652191, member: 18516"] To a certain degree you have answered your question. The daughter you once had is gone. This is a painful realization to come to. For me it happened many years ago. I came to understand that all the hope and dreams I had for my son were dreams that would never be. My son didn't make it through school, he did eventually get his GED (while in jail). It is a pain in our hearts that is so hard to come to terms with, there are so many "why's" without any answers. I am so sorry you are going through this with your daughter. What I can tell you is there is life on the other side of all the pain and chaos our Difficult Child create. It takes time and effort to let them go but it is so freeing. Don't get trapped in the "guilt" mode, it's pointless. You have done all you can for your daughter, it's now up to her to decide to change or not. Focus on YOU, do things that you enjoy. You are not alone in your struggle and pain, I as well as many others have been there. ((HUGS)) to you................ [/QUOTE]
