Hi All,

I’ve just found out my daughter is addicted to crack cocaine and heroin for the last 8 months. I am in complete shock and I don’t know what to do. I want to support my daughter as much as possible but don’t know the best way how to. For instance, my daughter currently spends £40 a day on drugs and has started begging me for money as she is withdrawing. I am scared because if I don’t give her money, I am worried what she might do to get it. But if I do give it to her, I am scared of being responsible for her actions and that I am enabling her. If anyone here could chat I would really appreciate hearing other people’s experiences and how you have managed to learn coping mechanisms and what you have done to get through this situation. My daughter has self-referred but her first appointment is three weeks away and I really don’t know what I should be doing during this time.
