    • About Me

      I am a heartbroken mother. I have 4 children. My daughter and granddaughter lived with me. The father of her baby moved in when he was released from jail. I discovered my daughter and her boyfriend were using meth. Things got worse. I had to move and would not allow my daughter to live with me without going into rehab and leaving her abusive boyfriend. She refused to get help. She will not see me. Not a day goes by that I don't think of them and pray that she will call and accept help. It is heartwrenching. Meth has destroyed my family. I must move forward for my other 3 children and husband.

      From TunaMan January 14, 2008

      I wrote this poem several years ago and hope that you will enjoy it and that it may give comfort and reassurance into the meaning of life. It goes as follows: LIFE'S JOURNEY I pray that God will bless you At the start of each new day And grant you health and happiness And friends to share your way As you journey through this life To reach that Ultimate Goal May you find peace and happiness Deap within your soul The road is long and narrow Full of trials and sufferings too But you must continually endure it As the appropriate thing to do Each of us has a tunnel Either filled with thorns or roses We must travel through the thorny tunnel To achieve heaven and the roses.

      Hi, How is Wisconsin? I live in Florida, and probably have mentioned that before. I know this is busy time of year for all of us. So, I will make a short message. It would be nice to hear how you are doing, later or sooner, whatever you want. I will keep in touch after the first of the year. In meantime, God Bless you, and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

    • Open Meth Addiction & Recovery

      Looking for other parents of a meth addict. My daughter is using meth and I feel like I was the last to know. I always felt very close to her. Love her more then words could express. I would give my life for her. The experts convinced me that I must stop enabling her or meth could kill her. Things got nasty after I confronted her. It came down to get help or move out of my home. She left and didn't hear from her for 3 yrs. Her daughter has been taken away from her. Heartbroken Mom
