Oh, there are typical patterns to addictions, but each addict is an individual, end each parental relationship is a unique blend of personalites and dynamics. No one shoe fits. <br /><br />I just finished reading another book - "Live Through This" by Debra Gwartney... she was much different than the authors who spared no expense - and she pretty much "gave up" and didn't really get with a program - and her kids "came back", too... <br /><br />I just can't bring myself to read "Tweaked" - <br /><br />Wishing you all the best. It is so hard, going through this, and this community is so helpful<br /><br />~Hugs~Athenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14824831201121143893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127114463030844612.post-20898379242970560642009-04-13T21:32:00.000-05:002009-04-13T21:32:00.000-05:00Oh boy, do I feel for you.

I'm living this nightmare. Although I searched their books for clues out, there really is no clear path, as you already know.<br /><br />Bless you for protecting your grandchild. I am fortunate to have another son, who is married and clean and responsible, and a 1-year-old grandson who is the light in all of our lives.<br /><br />Take care.<br />LeslieLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431801942628526998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127114463030844612.post-2878104305564875292009-04-07T19:32:00.000-05:002009-04-07T19:32:00.000-05:00Disease of addiction is so strong.

It's ok to get tired, angry, hopeful, scared... <BR/><BR/>But the ending of both are a bit discouraging - I do not have the resources financially or emotionally, nor can I risk the toll on the rest of the family to fore her into rehab... Although I have tried.<BR/><BR/>But... I'll be here WHEN she is ready. <BR/><BR/>Tubes tied? I can't even get her to take birth control or a shower. Nor do I believe she is hopeless as far as one day being a whole person, one who can have a family and a happy life. Norplant would be good, though, and should be mandatory.<BR/><BR/>What a mess.Athenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14824831201121143893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127114463030844612.post-74757114687151392772009-04-07T05:56:00.000-05:002009-04-07T05:56:00.000-05:00I read that book, I had mixed reactions.

Oh, and how much it cost..is way beyond the means of most of us.<BR/><BR/>Your daughter..my opinion..can you talk her into getting her tubes tied? It will be difficult to find a doctor because she is young, but not impossible. It is a very reversible procedure if things change. <BR/><BR/>I know you will fight the good fight for your grandson.Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09496172669599418214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127114463030844612.post-78152880434064130732009-04-06T03:07:00.000-05:002009-04-06T03:07:00.000-05:00I think you are so very right.
