Guest guest Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Dear Donna, You wrote, " ... My youngest daughter (22 yrs old) is pregnant again with her second child-first child will be 1 yrs old in December!!!!... she is addicted to Herion!!...I just feel like crawling into a big hole!I hate this disease .... It has ruined my life and really given me nothing to look forward to. " I am so sorry to hear about the stress you are going through. When I go through things like this that are completely out of my hands, I try and remember just that....they are out of my hands. The most important thing I can do is take care of myself, so I am there to help my daughter. But, I can't deny the fact that it is next to difficult to keep myself from the rampant of emotions going through my mind; it's like a river of white water rapids, not even an ocean wave in my face. I am all too familiar with the black hole you want to crawl into. It's getting crowded, though. There are others who have joined me. It is from this black hole that created the PAI. And, with the strength of each and every one of us, we have survived, and have been able to find that purpose, and desire to go on. We can't do this alone. I am glad that you are here and that you so freely share. We can't change people, places, or things. The only thing we can change is our attitude. An attitude of gratitude is the farthest thing from most of our minds, but it really is never very far from our hearts. Love will sustain us. (It won't pay the rent, but I always believe everything will work out..we just don't know how.)
