[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 691465, member: 19522"] Hi Heidi, can so relate to this. I very am sorry for your heartache and your need to be here. It is a good place to be for folks like us who are going through this journey. My daughter is out there in a park on meth and seems [I]content with her lifestyle[/I]. It is mind boggling. I have not given up hope for her, just the idea that[I] I can do anything to help her[/I]. She does not want to go to rehab, or a shelter. Have had her home in the past which always turned out to be a disaster. So, there you have it. I go from some form of acceptance to disbelief to worry and concern and back again. It is not for me to change, she has got to want differently for herself. I gave her to God a while back and pray for her. I know some friends and family cannot understand why I just don't bring her home, but these are people who have never been touched by this. They do not know the turmoil that results from having an addicted, manipulative, vindictive, lying, thieving adult child in their home. It is just unacceptable. It does not make seeing her, or not seeing her any easier. Her father suffered another illness, hospitalization and recently passed. I am hoping that this will cause her to contemplate her choices and want better for herself. Only time will tell. Until then, I will try my best to live well and get through the ups and downs and sideways of this. So, here we all are, posting on our unique "Unfacebook" world, lamenting, venting and trying to uplift ourselves and each other, despite what goes on with our d cs. We have lives that matter, come what may and I have realized through many months spent here that we do the best service for our adult children by showing them by [I]example[/I] how to live life to the fullest. It is not easy, but something worth striving for. Life is just too darn short. Welcome Heidi, please know that you are not alone. (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
