[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 703603, member: 1550"] My daughter had telltale meth sores. I believe your daughter is in her 40s. I think it is best to accept her as is because even your good advice is not changing her and is making her not want to hear from you. Our kids walk their own paths. At her age, she is a meth addict by her own choice and she knows the drawbacks and doesn't care. What has 40 some years of your advice done for her? Nothing. If you want to engage with her, and that is up to you, do not expect her to change or for a meeting in which you try to be motherly to a middle age woman will lead to success. Has staying in touch with her ever made you feel good? Can you just exist with her and not question her or give advice? Maybe coffee and benign conversation and refusing to hand over money, which she will use for meth. My chunky daughter was a stick on meth. Kills their appetite. They don't use potential drug money for food. Don't fall for how she needs money because she is starving. I feel terrible for This situation but again urge you to emotionally disconnect from both kids before you no longer have time to enjoy your life. By the 40s, and your son nearing 50, they have been addicts for decades and it's part of who they are. You matter. The rest of your life matters. Your children are getting up there. So are you. They know better but don't do better. You can't I influence them at their ages.You can only influence how you react to them. I hope you choose to finally live for yourself. Big hugs and love.
