[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 740085, member: 19522"] And so it goes. I saw Rain briefly yesterday. She had a different bike, proudly remarked how she had stolen it from her old boyfriend and “he deserved that because he was whining to her about coming back..and at the same time had turned into a man ho”. :nonono: She went on to mumble and ramble some other stuff that I really couldn’t comprehend. Manic. Probably high, but who knows? I am not supposed to be judgemental, but I think we do need to be on our toes and use [I]good judgement.[/I] Lest I fall back into the rabbit hole. It is a stark reminder to me that she has a long way to go. She did mention that she was talking with a human services worker, trying to get her ID, asked me if I had her birth certificate. Spoke of getting into a homeless shelter, but it was “too far from everything.” Stayed awhile with her new boyfriends mother, but he preferred park living. What the heck? Surprisingly, I am not shaken, a bit sad, but it has been such a long journey, and I have seen this side of her so many, many times. Hopefully, she will follow through and get her papers together. No ID whatsoever, no SS card, [I]nothing[/I]. Meth is life and soul snatching. I spoke with a friend who told me she tried it a long time ago and coming down from it was what made her [I]never touch it again.[/I] She said she felt like she was going to die. [I]That was after one brush with it. [/I]Her other friends had gone on a three day binge, experienced paranoia and psychosis, that scared them into stopping, [I]forever. Sigh.[/I] I hope my daughters will make efforts to escape its grip. They have to decide it is not worth the trouble. I will keep praying for them. Borrowing from my dad’s philosopher, Epictetus. “Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one principle. [I]Some things are within your control and some things are not[/I].” (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
