I have not been on here in a long time. I have been on a support group on Facebook which has been pretty good thought I might post here too. It's been 4 years I think since I found this website and unfortunately not much has changed. A lot has changed in our life - but not much with my...

My daughter has been home two days straight. Sober. My husband brought her home and she was drunk three nights ago. Son was in the car. I told her she cannot come home if she's been drinking. And we will not be giving her rides in the evening at all anymore. She has been in a decent...

I have read: Codependent no More The Language of Letting Go When Parents Hurt When our Grown Kids Disappoint Us It's Not About You Except When it Is One Day at a Time in Al Anon Stop Walking on Eggshells I have found them all to be useful and interesting. If anyone has any suggested readings...

I have been feeling extremely low again. Some of it is not related to my kid but it's always on my mind bc I am angry with myself for not expecting more of her. I'm just emotionally exhausted and it's so easy to just continue on keeping the peace by not enforcing things. My 19 yo daughter has...

I am empty. 19 yo daughter had emotional breakdown after drinking yesterday...and I think today as well. We heard her crying in her room. Lots of stuff going on that for her seems like the end of the world. Too long to go into here but it revolves around a no contact order by the court...

I just feel resentful today. Toward everyone. First words from my husband's mouth was that someone with my parent's area code called at 7:30 and woke him. I didn't hear it. Turns out it was my mom. They have been on a trip out of country and I guess they just wanted to let me know they are...

Feeling very low today . I was at a meeting with some moms regarding something in scouts (conduct problems and solutions of all the ironic topics) which my younger son is in. One of the moms works at the college campus in the building right where my 19 yo difficult daughter and her fellow...

Thank God for this forum. My 19 yo daughter came home for xmas. She still comes home periodically. This time of course only because she wanted her gifts I suppose. Somewhere deep down maybe she loves us and her family. I did get gifts for her but next year unless she's in a better place I...

I decided to open the door to my 19 uo daughter's room to put a couple things of hers away. She lives in filth. Last Christmas I couldn't take it any more and I cleaned her entire room...put clothes in bins out in garage. She brought them back in over time. Well it's that time of year again...

I feel so sad. 19 yo daughter again somewhere out there not communicating. Maybe another phone lost or stolen...who knows. It seems always, time and time again, that about 4-5 days go by before I start this obsessive worrying. Her life is a secret and I don't even know her anymore. How do I...

Just need to get this off my chest because I feel broken again. The only peoole who witness the level of anger and hostility in my kid is me, my kid, and God. And my husband sometimes. But I know you all here will understand it because sadly you've been here too.. Just dropped my 19 yo...

My 19 year old daughter texted finally after the last text on Sat saying she didn't feel well. (phone got charged somehow...I think she's been sleeping at the park and friends). She lost her EBT card. I will pick her up and drop her off at the services dept. She got a gift card for her birthday...

I saw my daughter yesterday morning walking through town with some druggie looking guy (sorry for the judgy reference). She had her backpack and sleeping bag on her back. She wasn't coming from the direction of the park at least. But heading toward it. After crying and praying (two more new...

Marriage is difficult enough even in the best of circumstances. Throw in difficult child and it changes the dynamic over time. I notice over the last few years, since my daughter began having problems, I found myself feeling resentful of my husband more and more. When kids are little and...

Warning, this is gonna be long. Having a very hard day...after several very hard years. I've been lurking around this website for a while now, thankful to have found it about a week ago. Our 19 year old daughter is once again, home "visiting" after her stay downtown at the park (or possibly...
