I have 2 adult daughters who are drug users.. my oldest 31 has 2 children. she a user of cocaine and prescription drugs maybe other drugs... but these I know for sure....I found out just 3 years ago. she could have been doing it longer I really dont know...
my 2nd daughter 30, no kids... has been useing for 10 years..could have been longer... first it was weed then cocaine then acid, crack then heroin... and prescripion drugs..
I didnt realize how I need help also with dealing with them being addicted. Im realizeing how I enabled them so much. scarey to finding that out... thought I was helping and really wasnt.
the hardest part is watching my gks live in this maddiness with thier mothers roller coaster ride of emotions and behaviors.
I feel so helpless in it all. I walk away from my daughters a week ago.. it was the hardest thing to do leaveing behind my gks. Im hopeing to find some sort of understanding with all this and moveing forward ..if thats possible. but, I realize I am full of resentment and anger at the both of them now and hopeing to heal from it. may peace and happiness follow you all.
