Hello Bethsmom, I think of you and how all is. Of course I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. I've been through all this and then some. Each time I felt all would straighten out but it didn't. Your daughter spending 5,000 on drugs, bongs, etc is not a surprise. My oldest had 63,000 in 2009, received it in Jan and all was gone by July, she was being evicted. Other daughter came and stored her stuff and brought me the animals (4) because I couldn't stand hearing about them going to the pound. My daughter Stella did end up on the streets of Las Vegas with druggie boyfriend and I helped at times (once over a thousand). Chuck and I once more offered help if she would go to VA rehap here. Now I want my husband and I to get our finances healthy. You Bethsmom will do what you can, just as we did out of love. There will come a time when you will have no choice but to let go. She just may decide to save herself and take care of herself. She's still young and may come out of it. Many do. It has to be her ideal to quit drugs. Chuck and I have quit cold giving anything at all to the addicts on both sides of our families. Otherwise we are no longer "suckers". We have a shattered family. The phone doesn't ring often these days and we no longer hear all the drug stories. Yes, I'm heartbroken but I'm starting to see what I still have in my life. It's still rich. Life is short but it is wide. Remember your life and your husband's life count too. Love, Deb
