Resolved Question

My daughter has been clean and sober from Meth for almost 3 years, has she overcome it? No agency here would help her, so I did. She says given the right or wrong circumstances she might use it again, we take each day one day at a time. I will say she is not the same person as she was before meth... caring deeply about things is a struggle for her, empathy is a struggle, and she is now struggling with OCD issues she did not have before meth. She still struggles to honor my personal boundaries, ( what's hers is hers and what's mine is hers... in her mind anyway), but every day it gets better. Taking her in, helping her get clean and helping raise my grandson was utter hell on me.... I have never gotten even a minor acknowledgment for the things I sacrificed to help her, and I don't expect any from her at this point. Would I do it again? You betcha, it's what moms do... we may not always like what our kids do, but most moms love their kids enough to do whatever it takes to keep them safe, even as adults.

If you are struggling to reclaim your life, I wish you much success in doing so. If someone you care about is struggling, you cannot do it for them, but don't give up on them. It's a long hard road either way. Namaste!
