MemberWelcome Somewhere over the rainbow. First of all, know you are NOT ALONE. There are so many of us in this world. It is hard to know if we are doing the right thing, when it comes to our children. Just know this, you can only do, what your heart tells you, you can live with. You have to be able to live with the choices you make when handling you daughter. No one can judge you. Sure people give advice all the time, but even though our situations are so much alike, they are differtent. I tried everthing also. But when we kicked our daughter out (like so many experts say you should), she fell so deep into her addition we almost lost her forever. I could never put her on the streets again. Because I can hardly live with myself (knowing the horrific things she went through, while on the street). She has scars physically, emotionaly and spiritualy that may never heal. The pain she feels because of the expereinces she had while on the street haunt her, when she is awake and when she is asleep. I have to be able to live with myself. So for me the "kicking out" thing did not work. But I have a good friend that could live with what ever happened, she new she had to kick her child out. She new she could not live with her child under the same roof. For her - the "kicking out" thing was the right thing. Both of our families are in good places now. But we fear that, that evil thing we call Heroin, could come back into our lives at any moment. It could come and take our babies away from us for good. That is the burden we carry now. I do not know if the pain we feel, so deep in our souls, will ever truely go away. But we have made a promise to eachother. No matter what anyone else says. We will do "what we can live with" and pray that God blesses our children. I will pray for your daughter and your family. I check this site often and am always here if you need a friend. Bless you, Somewhere over the rainbow and bless your baby girl.
