[QUOTE="momseekingadvice, post: 620770, member: 17699"] Thank you all for the great advice. This past month has been really difficult and I blamed myself alot, I thought maybe if I had let her live with me after she got out of rehab the first time, she wouldn't have gotten back into drugs. In a sense I feel like I was being selfish, but I just couldn't have her in my home anymore, I felt and still feel exhausted and drained of life and energy, but I was still willing to help her. This time things feel different than before, she's not taking my phone calls or responding to any of my text messages. I texted her names and numbers of different Shelters and rehabs, and left her a few voicemails, but she hasn't answered any. I also, recently learned that she's living with her drug dealer, who is a 40yr old man, she's only 20. I have an idea of where she is, but I've been advised not to go or send the police, because my family and friends fear that this person will retaliate against us, and send people to hurt us, they believe that she'll probably end up going back anyway, and that it has to be her choice leave. I feel really conflicted because, I don't know if I'm doing the right thing by letting her stay there. I don't know what to do? I also, disconnected her cell phone, I left it on because I felt that was the only link to her and her to me, but when I check her phone records, she's calling and texting people all through out the night well into the morning. At this point I feel that is probably causing more harm than good by giving her access to everything bad. I fear this is going to be a long journey....... [/QUOTE]
