I am a 53 year old mother of 2. One is a successful businessman with a beautiful family....the other is a 32 year old single mother of a 6 yr old daughter and a 10 month old son and SHE IS A METH ADDICT (among other things, I suspect).
I am so sick with worry and I have no resources as to what I need to do. I did not even have a clue. She has stolen from me and lied to me, my daughter who used to be such a wonderful person!!! I was an enabler. But I am learning to stop this.
I so worry about the grandchildren more than her (I am so afraid somelthing will happen to them).
"All" of her friends are addicts and I can't seem to get her away. I spent a bunch of money into an outpatient treatment center that only worked for about two weeks.
What do I do? Spend every penny I have on treatment centers???? I have a job that keeps me away from home for weeks at a time. I have insurance and love my job. But I am very bitter because my daughter is going to force me to quit my job. forfeit the insurance at my age and raise two children..AGAIN. I am so hurt and angry!!!
What should I expect and what should I do?????
Thank you all.

My heart goes out to to you, It's admirable that you want to help your daughter, but if she is not interested in help, then there is nothing you can do to make her go.
The thing about her children is sad and you may well be asked to look after them, but you don't want to feel backed into a corner by this either.
I would keep coming back here, get as much info as you can (friends and family board is great) also see if you can get into some meetings for yourself.
Keep coming back.
