[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 736387, member: 18958"] Soc. I agree with swot. It is time for you. We cannot save our children. They have to do so themselves. But we have ourselves to save. Often when we can begin to care for ourselves the whole family system changes, including our troubled kids. You have value. We cannot keep them alive. They have to want that for themselves. If we keep shoring them up they keep waiting for us to do so every time, and not only do they not develop the muscle to do it, they never have to make the critical choice to save themselves. Because we are doing it for them. There are residential treatment programs for people without money, like salvation army or teen adult challenge. County mental health can refer her to facilities where she can detox. There are sober living homes that are no cost. Narcotics anonymous is free. When daughter wants to change she can. You might want to consider al anon. I hope you keep posting. It really really does help. [/QUOTE]
