My daughter’s addiction makes it hard to have a relationship I can’t be in that storm of chaos/ insanity anymore. I have to guard myself from her. I won’t give up my peace for her or a man. I can be alone in my recovery and enjoy my life. I have my homegroup Na and Loosid that are healthytoday.
Does anyone else have family they just have to distance to stay clean?
I'm unfortunately in a situation with my mother who isn't addicted to substances but who is abusive. I don't have a way out of this situation right now. If I had the choice to distance myself from her. I would. In fact, I have. But for whatever reason god forced me back into this situation with her. You're doing the right thing. I know it's hard. I love my mother so much and i am sure you love your daughter. My only hope is that they will come around to their own character defects and one day we will be in eachothers lives again when we are both healthy and ready for a continuous loving and healthy relationship.
Wow, you are talking my story, Kim!! In fact, I choose not to have a relationship because of the insanity.
It's not my daughter Im talking to, it's the drug.
I literally just got off the phone with her since I haven't heard anything from her in a long time. I was seriously trying to think of who I could talk to and just calm down when I saw this. If you ever want to talk with someone who is in your shoes, Im game.
It is sad, painful, and frustrating all at the same time.
She recently moved into the same town and I don’t think we know how to react not be co dependent on each other still trying to figure out our relationship without Drugs. It may take some time but I am sure we will figure out.
Ty for your kind words.
I sent friend request so we can exchange numbers and how I can help in your recovery.

There comes a time when you have to put up your boundaries. It doesn’t mean that you’re not supportive of your daughter. It just means that you’re showing her how protective you are of your sobriety. She might not get it right now, but she eventually will when she gets sober. Sending strength
Ty your are amazing
