My lil girl is 8 almost 9. She has never seen me high or drunk or even holding a cigarette(i dont smoke)she's never seen me take Methadone
Im pretty sure She's never even heard the word. But eventually she will what do i tell her? Sorry jade mummys a junky ?
Why do you have to tell her anything? It's your medicine to help you stay well...that's all, Kitteekat.
For now thats perfect but sooner or later i'll slip up or someone else will. I really dread it, we are so close & she's so smart & funny i'd hate to disappoint her
No matter what you are still the same mother that she loves. I don't think you taking medicine daily will change that.
I have scars all up and down my arms. How the hell am I supposed to explain that one to my kids when I have them?

Ah sometimes being a parent is love & guilt in equal measure & that mother guilt will eat ya alive if ya let it.
But the love wow it rocks you're world!My girls excellent so witty&capable it amazes me every day &every day i thank god for her. X
Kitte, that's a beautiful name your lil girl has. I love that name.
Kitte, Rache and M's are correct. You're a good mother. It keeps you well.
Kitte, if you look at old posts from alot of us both mom's and dad's the guilt is just overwhelming.
You? You're guilty of kicking butt on a drug that could have taken you OUT! You're guilty of being a mommy that adores her DD and talks about her, and praises her. That's all.
Kitte, my DD was the same age as your girl when I STARTED using. Late bloomer and all ya know I am. My DD said it's not that you (kid) recall the drug itself, but the aftermath. The kicking. Detoxing. Oh and later the stealing, lying and making your own mother cry (her grandmom).
So, Kitte Katte you're one up on all of that. I say you cut yourself a break. Go see a man about a dog. Wear high heels.
