[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 673421, member: 19522"] Sammy, so sorry for your hurting heart. It is devastating to be faced with this kind of issue. I do not have the same situation or experience as you do, but having d cs in the grip of drugs feels similar. It is something of an [I]ongoing suicide[/I], a [I]destruction of self[/I], for my two. It is also a destruction of our relationship. I do know these [I]feelings.[/I] Sad, angry and helpless. There is nothing I can do to help my d cs, they are on their own path. So, I have had to shift my focus, and rebuild myself. Sad, angry and helpless is not healthy. It is hard to move in this state, to be motivated. To live, ourselves. I think the advice you have received is sound, to get help for yourself. To be able to understand that we have no control over what our d cs choices are, whether mentally challenged, or drug addicted, or any self destructive tendencies, we do not have control over their choices. Learning to live with the reality, and [I]really live our lives[/I] knowing this, and working steadfastly towards this, is imperative to our well-being and survival of it. I am sorry that I do not have more to share on direction for you. I know there are many support groups out there, where you could find comfort and help. Certainly, posting here on CD, and having these good, kind hearted souls, who have been through similar situations reply and share, helps. Keep posting and sharing and let your heart speak. We understand the intense feelings. There are others here, who have been in your shoes. You are not alone. Please take care. It is hard,[I] so very hard. [/I]My heart goes out to you.
