[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 725281, member: 19522"] Rosanna, thank you so much for your kindness. I am sorry for your need to be here, a most warm welcome to you. It is a difficult thing to see our adult children reap the consequences of their choices, be it mental health challenges or drug addiction. I have stepped in many times, and tried to help, to no avail. I am quite sure in both my daughters case, that they have cognitive issues due to years of drug abuse. That being stated, although I love both my daughters dearly, my circumstances are such that I have had to detach. They weren’t getting any better in my home, and my son was getting pushed to the sidelines. It became an issue of their choices versus the peace of my home. It is hard to know that they are both drugging and homeless. I never in my wildest imagination thought that this would be so. But, here we are. For the most part, I have been able to build myself up and take deep breaths. It helps to write here. I am not sure what I will do, I will pray on it and know the answer will come. I do know from experience that taking time to sit with my feelings and process the emotions is important. Prayer helps immensely. Thank you Rosanna. From one mother to another, big hugs and prayers for peace of mind. Leafy [/QUOTE]
