Welcome Webmouse. You are so right. Meth is the worst drug ever. And I am so sorry you are dealing with its devastating effects on your daughter. I wish there were more public service announcements or some way of letting people know how awful it is. Like the one years ago where the egg cracks into the frying pan, “This is your brain on drugs…any questions?” Why is there no information available to the general public about this scourge? Even using meth one time can have disastrous consequences.
My son lost it after using one time a year ago and was admitted to a crisis mental health facility. He recovered but since then he has used it when marijuana, his drug of choice, wasn’t available because he told me it’s a cheap high. I’ve posted here about his continual downslide, and eventually ending up in jail, a convicted felon. And he wasn’t even addicted, just what you would call a casual user. With meth there really is no “casual.”
Please don’t beat yourself up over your adult daughter’s choices. As anyone who has raised a child knows, we can educate, communicate, set good examples and whatever else as parents. Our kids are still gonna do what they’re gonna do. Some take heed and others don’t. It is not a reflection on you.
Many hugs and keep posting here. I’m glad you found us.
