My 43 yr old daughter had started with marijuana in her teens. Then she went to heroin. She married a heroin addict who abused her terribly-almost killing her 3 times. She refused to leave him because she "loved" him. He supplied her with drugs. He died from Hepatitis C. She got off heroin after she was diagnosed with HepC. I paid for the medications to get her so that she was no longer in danger. But, she then went to Oxycotin-snorting it. She also takes Xanax, Flexoril, Soma 350. She remarried, but he provided the drugs to her since her psychiatric Dr prescribed them to her! She continues to destroy herself-even after losing 4 of her children to child protective services. She has a 10 yr old girl now-who witnessed the abuse of her former spouse. Her current spouse is emotionally abusive and controlling.
My enabling over the last 20 years has obviously only allowed her to continue her downward spiral. In the last 8 months, she has wrecked 5 cars-all rear end collisions and her fault. She drives while on her prescribed medications. She uses the prescribed for me theory as an excuse and said she needs them per the Dr. I have tried to get her to rehab, but she won't go. I own the house she lives in with her spouse and child. I don't want them to be homeless. Neither of them are working. (spouse had money from workmans comp and it has run out). I am 65 and my spouse is 76. We wanted retirement to be happy, but I am broke from helping her all these years, and am forced to go back to work again. My husband can't.
I want to know if there is anything I can do to save my daughter? She took over 120 Xanax and almost died. She doesn't want to live if her husband leaves her or if I sell the house.(Both are things that are possible, since he is fed up and I can't continue to support her). The last car accident she was taken to the hospital and they let her go. HELP PLEASE. I don't know what I can do for her and I don't want her to die.
