Thanks FG. I have talked to my Daughter about me supporting her not enabling her. I don’t know if she gets it. I need to step back and let her find her path. This is nothing new. She has had drug addictions for half of her life (16 years) Very devastating to watch. I was able to push rehabs and counseling until she turned 18, and was deemed a adult. I cried everyday for years, developed stomach ulcers and was on the verge of a breakdown. My Husband intervened and told me that he didn’t want to lose me. He was very concerned about my health especially when I had a heart attack. There were only 2 times in our 30 years together that I saw fear in his eyes, then and when he was dying. I started counseling and was able to still care for my Daughter but not be consumed with her issues. It’s been a hard journey for our family. Most of them have no communication with her and I totally understand. It’s a bad place to be! Anyways, I am feeling much better. I am going to the store to get the turkey and a few other items. Thanksgiving and Christmas are bittersweet as my youngest Daughter isn’t invited. I want to make these pleasant memories for my Grandson not drama filled or everyone feeling anxious because we don’t know what is going to transpire. I make the best of it.
