<p>I"m sorry you have come to the end of this particular road, M-3. I know you are in great pain.</p>
<p>You will not always feel the way you feel today, and you will even be happy again, but that doesn’t make it any easier today. Read “The Power of Now,” or listen to it, if you can concentrate, or “Radical Acceptance”</p>
<p>Past a certain point, we can only do so much, and even then, anyone can find themselves where you are, now. </p>
<p>Big hugs.</p>
<p>Momma=three, I sent you a PM. I wish you peace.</p>
<p>I’m so sorry for your pain. I hope that your daughter eventually seeks help for her illness and comes back to your family. For now, all you can do is take care of yourself and the rest of your family.</p>
<p>I’m so sorry that you have to go thru this. I know you tried everything to engage your D in therapy, in classes, with the family.</p>
<p>I don’t want to make any assumptions about your daughter. I’ve known many teens/young adults who have been sent to residential facilities for a minor legal infraction or by a college dean, and, for some, the treatment is the start of the climb back to a healthier life.</p>
<p>With a young person, I never give up hope, but I have seen they distance themselves from family for periods of time. They know they are punishing those who love them most.</p>
<p>momma-three – I have read many of your posts. I bet you have only conveyed a bit of the emotional torture she has put you through. I know you don’t come to this decision lightly. I believe you are making the right choice. You need to heal. You have done everything you could. You are a good mother. This is not your fault. </p>
<p>You’re in my thoughts and prayers.</p>
<p>Oh, M-cubed. I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you. I hope that your girl will get the help that she needs. I will pray for your family, for sure.</p>
<p>I, too, am so very sorry. My heart hurts for you and your family. Sometimes the element needed for any kind of progress is time, and it can creep ever so slowly. I hope, in time, that things change for the better.</p>
<p>I’m so sorry for you and your family. I wish you peace.</p>
<p>Sending hugs to you!</p>
<p>Please take care of yourself. I hope that you will figure out what you need to be happy in your life. Nobody can fill the hole that is there right now and put a stop to your pain, but you can prioritize what is good for you. Take baby steps one day at a time, and just make the next decision that feels right for you.</p>
<p>Keeping your family in my prayers.</p>
<p>Very sorry, and like others sending hugs out to you. Take care of yourself. It’s so sad</p>
<p>There is only so much you can do, you can’t save someone who does not want to be saved. We have a young relative who pretty much sucked the life (and the money) out of her Mom, grandma, and even great grandparents. In the end they had to let her go to hopefully find her own path, because nothing they did really helped. And, like you, they really tried. It was heartbreaking, but only she can do it in the end, and she is not at that place yet.</p>
<p>Hugs to you. Look after yourself now.</p>
<p>Hugs to you and your family. Take care of yourself and your sons. It is hard when a family member must hit bottom and realize they must take control. It is hard to have to let them. You are powerless, totally powerless. Get the help and support YOU need to get yourself through this.</p>
<p>momma-three, you have done all you can. I hope that you find some peace in the coming days.</p>
<p>My heart goes out to you and your family, momma-three.</p>
<p>I have had several friends go through this. They tell me, at the end of the day, you come to the sad realization that as heart-breaking as it is, the best thing you can do for your child is to let them go. You did not cause this problem nor can you fix it. All you can do is pray for their safety and hope that they wake up to the problem in time and seek help. Hugs.</p>
<p>momma-three,</p>
<p>I am so sorry for you and for your family. </p>
<p>You’re in my prayers.</p>
<p>{{{{ hugs }}}}</p>
<p>I’m so sorry for your pain. I hope your family can find healing and peace.</p>
<p>Also sorry to hear how things have deteriorated.</p>
<p>I’m so sorry to hear that things have not improved. Having watched a friend go through hell with her son several years ago, I think you are doing the right thing by letting her go. It took about three years of no contact between my friend and her son. He finally grew up, started taking his meds, stopped the drug use, met a nice girl and got married. I’m not saying it works out that way for everyone, but I hope it works that way for your family, too. Hang in there.</p>
