<br>
<br>
Thank you....
<br>
We all had a wonderful Easter.  My dear husband and Bug hunting eggs
<br>
as I took pictures will always be a memory in my heart.  She is one of
<br>
the sweetest babies I&#39;ve ever known.  She is a lot like her mother when
<br>
she was small.  Full of love, laughter, and inquisitiveness.
<br>
<br>
Thank you so much for your prayers.  I feel so strongly that prayers are

<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ rememberme,
<br>
It&#39;s not easy for me to respond to your post....
<br>
I&#39;m almost speechless, and that doesn&#39;t happen often.
<br>
It sounds as if my worst nightmare became your reality
<br>
in losing by death to meth.
<br>
<br>
I&#39;m so sorry your son was taken in such a manner, by this horriable drug.
<br>
May his death not be in vain, and if the story of his life and death change the life
<br>
of one addict, or their family.

Your daughter gives me hope for my own... ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
Bug looks like she had a wonderful easter. She looks happy, healthy, well cared for and loved. What you are doing for her is such a gift - especially when you
have your own needs and your husband to care for. My prayers will be with you and with him - looks like any prayers Bug had need of when she was born have been
filled by your strength and love. Hugs ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;m new here so you don&#39;t know me. I came on board to try and understand the mind set of a user. That said...my daughter used to be a heavy user of
meth. She was in and out of jail/prison countless times. She had a child at 18, and of course the child ended up with me, I adopted him.
<br>
<br>
She did come round to visit, but she always ignored her son. Mostly she wanted to sleep and eat. I think it would have been better if she had just stayed away
at that time. Finally we moved to... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ You are so right...about her not showing up.  She just wants to shove some of  her guilt on me, and she will if I allow her too (and I DID).
<br>
<br>
Today my mind is in a different place.  And right now I could care less if she sees Bug or not.  She hasn&#39;t worried about it for over 3 months.  And now
when I have my hands full of Bug being sick with MRSA the past few weeks (3 ER visit last week), and now my husband she wants to try to make my life more
complicated.  Phooey!  I have... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ First I want to thank you for your words of wisdom.  We learn so much through life&#39;s experiance.
<br>
<br>
Second, I&#39;m so sorry to hear about your HepC.  Stay away for alcohol because that would be like throwing gasoline on a fire, when trying to put the fire
out.
<br>
<br>
I believe it would be easier for you to go here to read my husbands story....if you have any questions after that please feel free to PM me.

			<description><![CDATA[ I think you did it because you love your daughter. Love drives us to do things we know in our head isn&#39;t right for the situation. We follow our hearts
instead.
<br>
<br>
Lady, I don&#39;t want to sound negative here, but I guess you know the probability of her not showing up is very high. Don&#39;t expect anything okay?
<br>
<br>
Bug is adorable. How blessed she is to have you.
<br>
<br>
Prayers to your husband. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I don&#39;t know why you did that, probably because old behaviors are very hard to change. She is your daughter and on some level since she is acting
irresponsiable and unacountable like a child you are reverting back to treating her like a child and steping in doing for her what she can and must do for
herself. Enabling is when we do things for another human being that is capable of doing something for themself but is unwilling to step up and just do it. She
should be making her own phone... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ You seem to be moving in a positive direction with ceasing enabling - getting to the point of trying to figure out what the &#39;triggers&#39; are. I agree
with &#39;LO&#39;. We do tend to continue habits that numb the hurt somehow, even if they are not healthy.

I hit hard learning how to discontinue my enabling. After a couple years trying, trying, trying .....not understanding, the pain seemingly only growing larger
than life, one situation finally occurred that &#39;was too... ]]></description>

time <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif">

The last time my oldest was in jail, she was still trying to orchestrate everything in her world, including begging someone in the family to call the bail
bondsman for her. Anymore, no is an automatic answer for me, and I don&#39;t even have to think twice!

  For me, I believe I did this even though I knew it wasn&#39;t the best choice because it temporarily numbed any suffering I felt over the million things I
  was unhappy about. For some reason I always thought the happiness would last longer, replace the uneasy feelings I felt inside. But they never did. I was
  looking in the wrong direction to find happiness.

I have been taking your words to heart a lot lately and they have served me well and made much sense to me.

A lot of the time, my own words in my head don&#39;t make as much sense to me, even if they are saying the same thing you just said.

Sometimes-for me, a lot of the time, other people make more sense to me than I do to myself.

<br>
<br>
I&#39;m not sure if that was just a rhetorical question or not.
<br>
<br>
But my experience with people pleasing is that I would make choices that I knew were not right for me because I so craved the 5 minute hit of happiness I would
get when people expressed a need for me, or gratitude for something I&#39;d done for them. Sometimes the &quot;hit&quot; was self-righteousness for proving I
was going &quot;above and beyond&quot; any realistic... ]]></description>
