My daughter is still not home. She begs me every day to come home & I tell her not until she proves she is making healthy choices for her recovery. It is almost Christmas & it is killing me. My heart is heavy. I will let her sleep over Christmas Eve so she can be there with her siblings Christmas morning. I am praying that she wakes up & tells me she is ready to try again at rehab. I sit and pray all day long at work. I pray for her, I pray for my kids, I pray for strength, I pray for other addicts and their families. I wish there was an answer. Some days I find I am stronger then others.
Tough love works, just keep it up. People all find the breaking point that causes them to want to quit. She just hasn't had hers yet. Just don't enable her, she will never change if she continues to get your help. I know its hard. But good luck mama. I pray she finds her way to recovery no mother deserves to go through addiction.
Thank you for replying. I pray you are right & she wants help soon.
