[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 627331, member: 17542"] Hi Jeanne, and welcome. I am so sorry for what you have been through with your daughter. I imagine you keep reliving the sucker punch many times over and wonder where it came from every single time. Who would have even thought of the things that our difficult children come up with to do? I am also sorry about your grandchildren and son-in-law. I also believe we can go on and become happy people in the face of horrors like this. It takes faith in something or someone greater than ourselves plus a lot of hard work. This site is one of my tools and I have others as well. I work them every single day, and I am finding that I am getting healthier and healthier. My 25-year-old son is in jail again (8 or 9 times, have lost count) all related to drug addiction. He had every advantage in life and has thrown them all away to this point. The horror has been at a high level for the past four years. Today I am a better person because I have worked on myself instead of focusing on him. I also am a much more grateful person today for all of the many gifts I have been given and continue to receive. Life is precious and I value it. I love my son very much and I pray for him constantly, but I can't be around him very much at all. It seems and sounds harsh, but I value my own life today as much as I value his and I have to work, function and enjoy my own life and healthy relationships so I work toward that. Maybe he will change one day and maybe he will not. I now am working on releasing any expectations and accepting what is right in front of me. That saying: When people show who you who they are, believe them. Until my son gets treatment and works a serious program of recovery, nothing will change. And it's all up to him. I'm done. Warm hugs for you today. We get it here. Please continue sharing with us if you would like. [/QUOTE]
