Hi I feel like I am reading about myself here only I am at the beginning of this horrendous journey. My beautiful daughter has turned into a manipulative, selfish person who I no longer recognise due to the last 5 years of drug and alcohol abuse. The last 10 months her family and lots of support workers have tried to help her get her first born daughter (our granddaughter) back home with her but she has relapsed fully losing everything around her and now living with the latest drug addict boyfriend. I need to move on with my life now as it’s taken a toll on my health, marriage and relationships with my 2 other children. But the guilt is hard to deal with and the realisation that only my daughter can change. ..I can’t do it for her. Thank you for sharing your experience. ..even if for the fact I don’t feel as if I am the only parent in the world going through this.
