Thank you for sharing this as I found it very inspiring to know that you can make it through a loved ones addiction, although I know you are still going through it. My daughter is 20 and denies using anything, although all the signs are there. She has been living in and out of hostels over the last 2 years and has had a succession of boyfriends. Her latest one is a lot older but she has moved in and its ‘working out’. As a family we have tried to be supportive but it is only really me, as her mum, that has any patience left, although I think it’s also guilt as I feel I must have done something wrong. I can only be there for her when she has moments of needing ‘mum’ but reading your story made me feel better as it is ‘ok’ to try and support them, even though she seems to have ‘chosen’ this way of life for the moment….x
