Susan,
I don't blame you for being mad. My guess is that your parents attention was on you sister and brother and you felt left out. So I am also going to guess that when your parents died that you felt deprived of their love and attention that you should of had when they were alive.

That's why I am putting an end to this. I know my daughter is playing with fire and I also hear the pain in your notes about your parents. I have 4 other children that I have to love and care for and until just recently it seems that all my attention has been on the adoption and dealing with my daughter. I don't want my other children to feel like you do.

It's hard to just say I give up, but what else is a person to do? It's a choice of give everything that you have to one child and sacrifice the other children or give up on the one that has made the bad choices and give your love to the children that are striving to make something of their lives. My other children....I am so proud of them, they have learned from their sister and they are really doing good.

I still feel bad for my daughter because I know what it is like to be the black sheep of the family...it sucks...to be the one that is the bad child and that has all the problems. I guess that is why I have put up with her crap for as long as I have. One thing I can say for myself is that I always worked and I didn't do drugs. I may have married at a early age and had kids too early but I always supported myself and my children. My daughter won't work and she let this meth get ahold of her even after she seen what it did to her friends.

So thank you for your messages, through them I know that if I continue on the path that I am on and continue to worry about my daughter then my other children will suffer. And I don't want that. Sorry I went on so long but it sure helps to write things down and sort them out. Sometimes it sucks when you come up with the answers though.
