Relapse Again

[Jellybean55]

My daughter has relapsed. I don't know any details. For the last week or so she said that she was sick with diaherra. Last night she said that she had lost 15 pounds. Today I texted her and never heard back, then I called her again...no answer, so I texted her again. I got a text back that said she was going to rehab. I asked "who is this" and the answer came back that it was my son-in-law. He said that she took all the money out of the bank and had been in the hospital. meth & pills. I asked where the kids were and he said with me. He said he would call me after work, I don't trust him, but I believe him this time. As a mother of an addict, I thought that something might be up. It was a year ago that she had her children taken away from her. I think that this will be the final straw with CPS, she will lose her kids. I am so sad. I think I am close to having compassion for her. I am mad what drugs are doing to my once smiley little girl, what the consequences are doing to her daughters. Four years ago she overdosed and almost died. Last year at this time, her relapse almost took the joy from my life, it almost took the joy out of my other's daughters wedding. My youngest daughter just shared her joy that she is expecting her first child. It seems my AD spoils all the good times. I am not sure what to do, who to tell. But this isn't my first rodeo, so I know there is nothing for me to do. I live 1500 miles away, but even if I was just a mile away I can't cure or control it. I hate the call from my sil because it will probably be ugly. I don't know how to reach my daughter, and really don't even know if I want to talk with her.Thanks for listening.

I'm sorry for your pain and so understand what you're going through, having been through it myself with my RAD. To try to keep my fear at bay, I do a lot of praying, reading the literature, and coming on this site. I also attend f2f meetings as often as possible.

My prayers are with you and your daughter.

I'm sorry to hear you are going through this. It's hard to watch our children self-destruct.

Prayers and hugs to you.
