[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 705766, member: 19905"] When a nurse walked in and told me my daughter had tested positive for meth. That was bottom for me. That was the moment I could no longer make excuses for her behavior, tell myself she was having "growing pains," find every excuse under the sun for her erratic moods and reactions. That was the day the blinders came off - and it only got worse from there as then came her diagnosis, the discovery of all of her suicide attempts, finding out some of the horrible things she had done to herself and other people....including how she had become permanently, physically disabled bc of her poor choices. I think we all naturally wear blinders to those we love the most, making excuses for them, trying to give every benefit of the doubt. That was when I realized there was no "happily ever after" for her, and that everything she could and would have been was gone. I hit bottom and it took me a long time to rise from it. [/QUOTE]
