[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 506981, member: 59"] The other thing I wanted to say is that last year I really thought difficult child ws going to die. She was drinking and using 24/7, was dancing in a strip club and going home with guys she met there, not eating, sleeping wherever she happened to be that day and posting all kinds of comments and pics on fb that made me sick to my stomach. I finally had to face the fact that I would probably be going to her funeral. I played difficult child's funeral out in my head. I thought about what I would say to her druggie friends who came and pretended to be all sad and cry together all the while waiting until they could leave and get their next high. I practiced what I would say to my neighbors and other parents, some of who helped enable her over the years, and others who turn their heads to their own kids' drug use. I wrote down things I wanted to post on her wall to all the fake RIP's her so called friends would post. I pictured myself at her grave finally knowing she was at peace and wondering why we had all this heartache. And I tried to write the letter to her bm asking her why. All of that finally gave me the peace I needed to accept that she may die and there wasn't a thing I could do about it but I knew in my heart I did all I could while she was alive. It shattered my faith, it made me think things I couldn't say out loud, but it was the beginning of me realizing I couldn't keep her alive. Nancy [/QUOTE]
