 Tammy,
What she did was blame you for her addiction. She is not owning her addiction, she wants someone else to own it and that person is YOU. Well you cannot own her addiction and maybe in time she will realize that and maybe not.
Is she in there on her own or was she ordered to go to rehab?

We all do the best we can do. I know that I have raised my kids alone and have had my moments of weakness to when I have gotten depressed and closed myself off from the world, but I still do the best I can do and I have my mother to help me as well. I am sure you are no different than many of us mothers out here.
We make mistakes and we own them. I see in your post that you have owned your mistakes, she is not owning hers. She should be thanking you for taking her daughter and raising her instead of her daughter being in a foster home with strangers. And its not you that needed to give her a second chance, she didn't give herself that chance.
Her addiction is not your fault and as much as you don't want to hear this, It is not your problem either. I am not sure if I would talk to her until she is really in recovery and apologizes by living her life right.
Dont be hard on yourself over her selfishness.
