While having family members with this issue and an ex hubby I am very upset that my dtr/22 is having legal problems (bad ones) from this illness. I have done everything in my power to help her, lawyer, boss at her work, therapy , new doc with meds for depression, helping her understand her probation life now, jail time, drug and alcohol urine tests, offered to take her to AA meetings, trying to get her to move in with me and I am just at a loss for what else to do to help. I know the work and motivation has to come from her. My ex is being very firm and washed his hands of her but I just cannot do that. I am so broken up over this. Being a nurse I know the road she is on is a bad one that will lead to an early death.
I wanted to attend an alanon meeting but the only one is at a time that is not good and far from here.
How in the world do you do the tough love thing on your own child without falling apart? I have never worn these shoes before.
