[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 748623, member: 11235"] Hi Leafy- Your words made complete sense to me. I have been in a similar place many times with all kinds of thoughts, fears, worries, anxieties bouncing around my brain. And I have just been dealing with one daughter. I can't imagine the pain and worry doubled! Many years ago I taught in a prison. We did lots of professional development and one session talked about criminality and addiction and looked at it as a cycle. They discussed how frequently younger siblings jump into the middle of the cycle with their older sibling, rather than starting out slowly as is the typical cycle. Then they bond over their shared behaviors and it is reinforced. I thought about that as I read about your two daughters. I'm so sorry you are going through this. It takes such a toll. All you can do is let your girls know you love them and will do anything to help them get well. I hope at some point they turn things around. Sending peace to you. [/QUOTE]
