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
You could also be talking about my daughter who can tell me exactly what she knows I want to hear and it is everyone’s fault apart from her’s, that things don’t work out. She is so chaotic and seems to be happy when she is with the latest boyfriend who share’s the life she seems to have chosen….I suppose as a mother I can only ‘be there’ but it is very difficult when as you say ‘they talk a good game but never walk the walk’. x
