Hi Klara, yes I’m doing great now. I’m glad that it sounds like she’s in a long program that has potential. Ugh, the daddy issues. I can so relate…my dad walked out when I was 6, and I always had to have a man, too. Of course, I had to recreate trauma subconsciously, so my choices were awful. I got really lucky with my late husband, and since he’s been gone, it’s been just my kids and me. I’m not lonely, so it works well. I hope your daughter gets to have some life just for her and her kids, and then maybe the right guy will come along. Addiction is just so hard, especially on families. It’s really awesome that you’ve been able to create a good situation for her kids, and I know how she feels about not deserving her kids’ love. I felt the same, but my kids were so ready for me to get better that they put my past behind us (hopefully therapy will keep them from burying it too deep). I bet finishing college will give her a solid place to start, and feeling healthier too. It’s extra hard when addiction is blended with health issues. You’ve obviously been through it all… I hope so much that she gets out and is back to where she was the years she was clean, and her kids get to have their mom. AND you get to take a long vacation!
