[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 586286, member: 1721"] My heart goes out to you and to your family. I think you are doing the right things, saying the right things. The hardest part about loving someone who is self-destructing is that no matter how "right" our decisions and actions, the person we love continues to go a wrong way. If it's not a financial hardship, I would continue to pay for the cell. Not for the sake of your child, but for your own sake. It's so much worse when you don't know where or how they are. I'm so sorry this is happening. You probably already know the Serenity Prayer. I will repeat it here for you. I would say it to myself when I awakened in the night, alone and worried and unable to sleep. If you repeat it enough times, it does provide a certain measure of strength, a little space to catch your breath. God, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change the Courage to change the things I can and the Wisdom to know the difference. Barbara [/QUOTE]
