[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 746853, member: 11235"] How well I know the feelings of despair, guilt, fear, etc. because of the horrific choices our adult kids make. I'm sorry for everyone going through it. There are no easy answers. I did want to mention a word of caution to everyone here- be wary of giving gift cards. They will trade them for drugs. If you want to get them food or gas then actually pay for the items rather than giving a gift card. They always think of a way to use every good intention to their own advantage. Everyone- do something kind for YOU today. Take yourself to a movie, buy yourself something you've been wanting, take a walk in nature, binge a TV series on Netflix. All of us have tried any and everything to "fix" our kids. We have all done our best and it's time for us to focus on "fixing" ourselves- giving up the guilt and fear and focusing on what is good about our own lives and how to make them better. Love to all of you! (I'm about to go walk in nature with my dogs- go me!) [/QUOTE]
