[QUOTE="WearyMom18, post: 652348, member: 18856"] This is most definitely the hardest thing I've ever been through in my life and from reading all of your stories I know many feel the same. It's such a tear between feeling like you're abandoning your role as a mother where we are programmed to fix and make it all better and letting go of that responsibility and making them handle their own lives. After that, you get to watch them self-destruct in some cases which could go on for years! She's so young, just turned 18 in January, and she just wouldn't let us guide her into adulthood; she wouldn't listen to anything we had to say, wouldn't stop using drugs even after rehab and jail (where the other inmates told her that she didn't belong there and they should kick her butt for even being there) and just continued with her selfish, destructive ways until we couldn't take anymore. We didn't decide one day to kick her out, in her case, she knew the police were coming so she ran and now tells people that we kicked her out. Pity party if you ask me - and so frustrating to know that some people don't agree with how I am handling this and feel sorry for her being out on the street. Ugh, it's going to take a lot of selfishness on my part to take care of myself, rest and do things I have put off for 4 years to keep my mind busy. It's such a struggle everyday that it exhausts me to think about it. I'm sure you're all sick of hearing my complaining because I know I am - I have just never dealt with such a difficult set of circumstances and realizing that I could be facing this difficulty for YEARS! Too much to think about. I'm going to do today, do me and try to keep my sanity intact. LOL [/QUOTE]
