[QUOTE="Bean, post: 452122, member: 8620"] PatriotsGirl, thanks for sharing that. I needed to read it. We won't allow our daughter to live with us in her current state. She can only be at our house when we are here. I'll tell you, upholding this rule BITES. It is HARD. It doesn't feel NORMAL or LOVING or how I felt FAMILY would be at all. None of this was in the visions for what I wanted a family to look like. Drugs and addiction change all that. As much as I'd love to have here here, see her, be around her, have her... she isn't HER right now. So it would just be a false comfort. She needs to live and see the ramifications of her behavior. It is scary. It is sad. But I also have other kids here to raise, too, and I can't have her here and try to raise solid kids. Some days I'm OK, and some days I'm in mourning. But, everyone is much better and functioning with our difficult child out on her own. We were crippled with her here. [/QUOTE]
