[QUOTE="KFld, post: 36059, member: 2442"] Glad you found this board and have found comfort in the fact that you are definatley not the only persons who's heart is breaking because of their childs actions. Though it doesn't make the seperation any easier, remember you did not cause her to be placed where she is, her actions caused this and hopefully she will learn and grow from this experience and become a much better person. Just keep telling her you love her and will be there to support her 100%, when she is making good decisions with her life. No matter how old they are when they have to go somewhere besides the home they know, it doesn't get any easier on us moms. My 20 year old son is a recovering heroin addict and over the past almost 2 years has been in approx. 5 different drug and alcohol rehabs, 3 soberhouses and 3 apartments. It was very hard on me to see him going from place to place, bed to bed, always being in different surroundings with complete strangers. I know I couldn't do it. I would have been terrified. He has now been living in the same soberhouse for almost 6 months, clean for a little over 6 months. It is the longest he has lived anywhere in almost two years. He finally thinks of this one as his home, which makes my mommy heart feel much better when I go to bed at night. I hope they can find a placement for your daughter quick, so that she can adjust and learn to follow the rules and get some good positive help and support. She knows you love her. Don't ever doubt that for a moment, though she will try and make you believe that. Just keep reminding her that you love her and that when she can turn her life around, she'll be able to come home and be a productive healthy part of your family. Hang in there!! [/QUOTE]
