MDJunction to me

ThereseML"When I first came to MDJ, I was in need of peer support in dealing with issues of my childhood abuse. I was moving away from the painful issues and trying to find an uplifting group of people to help me transition to a thriver in my life. I found that here. I also found a group of peers with Fibromyalgia and found the same uplifting experience there. My computer crashed and it was a while before I found my way back, this time with issues related to Parkinson's Disease. I had tried a few other support sites before reminding myself of MDJ. On those, I never got a reply. I finally found my way back here and again found very supportive, caring and inspiring people who made me feel like I was 'back home'. Indeed I am." (ThereseML)

Hi everyone. I'm going to visit my daughter on tuesday for 4 days. I'm giving her clothes back to her we put in storage. First I will go through everything and make sure there's nothing valuable in there she can pawn though. I'm very nervous about this trip. I don't have any hope she's going to agree to rehab so I'm just going to say when she's ready to let me know. She's heard me beg so much by now its ineffective anyway.

She has developed a real mean streak. I know it isn't her its the heroin, but this girl is cruel. She says we are selfish and mean and the reason we "won't help" her is because we're cheap! That's the biggest bunch of b.s. I've ever heard. I'm going out there and getting this over with and then its all up to her. I don't think I'm even going to message her again unless she messages me first. I messaged her earlier that I'm coming for 4 days only, my ticket is not able to be changed so if she keeps me hanging and we don't get as much done as we had hoped there's nothing I can do about it.

The twin brother of her "boyfriend" whom they hang out with all the time is in jail awaiting trial for 7 counts of various drug offenses... possession, distribution, conspiracy to distribute, class 1, 2 (1-4 grams) and 3 drugs. Basically everything he can get his hands on it looks like. Too bad it wasn't her "boyfriend" too!

Any advice you can give me would be appreciated. First stop I'm making after I pick up the car rental is to buy some pepper spray. I wish I could buy a stun gun. I would seriously shoot him in the nuts.

Pam,

wow big trip indeed, avoid the stun gun. lol, just be careful and know we all support you I am weak in the thought of it as my issues of confronting are still to close, my daughter did her best to make all her using my fault and when i reminded her I was not in her life much before she moved in, she had no one to blame but the bf and herself. Jail glad the brother is doing time and i hope he gets all he has rightly earned, I know this is going to be hard seeing her and keeping your mouth shut but really addicts using or detoxing are time bombs, and can snap in a heart beat. One often thinks they have the type of self control we do but it is important to realize that when we are stressed and desperate to shake it up as Dr. Phil use to talk about is not always the wisest path or action.

I will be thinking of you.

Pam, wishing you strength, calm, and deep breathing. Take each day 5 minutes at a time. Hope you are able to reach through the drugs and find your daughter, pull her out from under the water and bring her to the surface. Prayers are with you. Pam
