Wisernow...thank you. I just share what I did and how it worked for my daughter. But I was hardly strong or a role model when I did it. I was a quivering hot mess, devestated that my daughter would end up dead. I just had the opposite reaction to many here. I felt I had to do this and stick to this if i wanted to save my daughters life. My money, comfort, understanding, love and offers of help was not changing anything so I listened to Al Anon and my counselor and got lucky. To her credit Daughter is a basically strong and extremely bright and loving young woman. Not all difficult kids have those assets to help them.
Wisernore, I really enjoy your posts and you bring much wisdom. Nobody can guarantee an adilt child will be ok, but I do feel YOU will be okay. And thats important because you are precious and special too. We all are. Glad I "met" you on here.
