[QUOTE="Weary Mother, post: 703636, member: 20487"] Somewhere: I agree, I have not engaged with my daughter much since she moved to Missouri. The info I got was from the son who is/was involved with her and not in a good way. I am glad he shared with me, it makes it easier to accept instead of second guessing, as in: are these sores from meth or diabetes, or something else. She blows that around because she does not want to admit to anyone what she really is. I have struggled over her retreat and lack of communication, and reading your post can agree that I should just let it go. I don't entertain notions of mothering her, but do wish she would at least have a normal conversation with me, like how are you mom? What you been doing? Want to go shopping or have lunch? But I can't tell you how many years it has been since we had that conversation. And as she ages and I age I guess I think that I should at least try to have some kind of verbal relationship with her. Now my son, he is attempting to do that on his own, he is reaching out and it breaks my heart. I have to be cautious with him. He means well, and since he is now off drugs being in prison, of course he is different and as I have shared before I will have to wait and see. But even if he completely reforms his life, some opportunities have gone and due to my age will not come back. Drugs are just terrible and it has broken my heart. [/QUOTE]
