[QUOTE="Star*, post: 508815, member: 4964"] Dear Recovered - In your words - I am going to copy nearly word for word parts of how you describe your description of your daughters life and your attitude towards it. Your words were absolutely brilliantly written, and understandably simple to the point that I often convolute in explaination when talking to my son because I tend to get emotional regarding his biofather. But truer words have never been used to describe the life of an addict in my opinion. The depth, the level, the choices - and yet you mentioned nothing about her leaving behind her child. The child just says it so clearly - I'm making better choices than you. What an astounding witness to verbalize to your very own parent. And still - the parent just continues on with her life. Utterly, completely, blows my mind not just with your daughter - but with my ex as well. Believe me, I'm very much over the hurt and pain it caused me, and it took a little longer to rid myself of the pain it continued to cause my child - but old feelings were drudged up once again, when he went seeking him out, and his family and got smacked right in the face with a big wad of nothing again. The anger, the rage - all right there and this time no one at all to help him deal with it. My ex even tried to kill my son with a baseball bat - his own son, after NOT seeing him for 15 years. Once again he chose his drugs, and his druggie dregs of humanity over his child. He's in prison now, and will like you suspect of your daughter continue to do so, and my fiance has been along for the ride as well - supporting, loving, not liking much of it, any of it - lol - but still here. Bless him - he's a good man. Bless yours he sounds like a keeper too. Thank you for your words as well. You're correct I think this is probably the ONLY place in the world that "gets" us, and our kids and for all of this I am ever thankful. Your granddaughter sounds like one remarkable kid. I think she gets it from her Grammy! God Bless you as well - he does our house ever single day! [/QUOTE]
