This morning I am thinking about parents who are suffering and suffering deeply over a child they have who is addicted to drugs or alcohol. I was one of them some years back. It was horrible, I felt like alone, and on the edge of a nervous breakdown almost all the time! For years!
I thought about my daughter day and night, and worried and worried, and cried, and cried some more. I became an expert on treatment facilities, and knew how much each cost, what they had to offer, and what kind of payment they would take.
I constantly looked at her eyes and made wild speculations about what kind of drug whe was high on, and if she were going up or coming down. Not only that but, I became quite good at knowing how long this particular mood she was in would last, and when it would change. She became my life, her addiction became my life, my expression, my existance. I was dedicated to her addiction and the illusion that I would somehow be a part of her recovery from her addiction.
In the mean time, while I was under this illusion, I somehow became addicted to her addiction. My mood revolved around her addiction, coming up going down, on and on. I lost control of my own life, I lost all interest in my life. I was totally consumed with hers.
There is a way out, there is a method of recovery for parents who are addicted to their childs addiction!
