Thank You all that commented and I am glad the article helped to put a perspective on your own situation and dealing with a loved one. It’s a long hard road but never forget that none of us are alone.

I was feeling all these emotions yesterday. I was/am so upset & sad. I am raising my sons daughter because his girlfriend/the mother overdosed & died. My son went to treatment but relapsed and he was absent from Thanksgiving, even though he promised he would show up. It upsets me because I love my son but it kills me because my 4 year old Granddaughter is emotionally wrecked.
All I can say is this article helped & no one really knows what it’s like to go through having an addicted child, except parents of other addicted children. Thank you for sharing your story.

Sensitivity and compassion are essential and at times so difficult to find when hope dwindles. Your writing was uplifting and a reminder to love without expectation. For me, with an adult son suffering from chronic schizophrenia it is quite similar. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family !
