Thank you Icarus Trust and Helenjh for your comments.
Whilst I dont feel ready or brave enough to speak with a counsellor at the Trust I know this could help me try to understand my daughters addiction. I will make that call one day…x
You are so right Helenjh that it is an illness and seeing first hand how it consumes the person is hard to watch and the cause of my despair.
So sorry to hear about your son and I admit to being shocked that after all he went through the addiction still took hold again.
I wrote this the day after I had collected my daughter from prison, hoping this was the wake up call for her to change but finding out that within 24 hrs she was using again, not sure she ever stopped.
She’s now back in prison and as much as I am angry and upset with her, that part of me deep down inside hopes that maybe this is the turning point for her and i find myself writing to her offering love and support…because she’s my daughter. ..x
