Hi ginger , I’m in a similar situation. My daughter 17 started taking Xanax a year ago, overdosed several times and ended up in hospital.
We really thought that she would die at one point as she had no control over what she was doing. Couldn’t remember what she had done for days on end , didn’t eAt and was covered in bruises.
The effect it has had on us as a family is huge, I have 2 other children younger than her.
They witnessed paramedics and sometimes police in the house in the middle of the night.
One positive thing for you is that your daughter is managing to hold down a job… not easy when you have a drug habit.
My daughter is ok at the moment. Probably partly because she doesn’t want to take it but also the supply has dried up!
I guess there has to be a point where we as parents say ( once they are 18) it’s time to move out as the we cannot cope anymore and you are affecting your siblings who really don’t deserve this!
What drugs is your daughter using?
We are a nice family and she has brought this dark world of dealers, shoplifting and lies into our world!
You have my sympathy it’s just good to know that we arn’t alone in this !!
