 I also have a daughter that is a meth addict. I joined Al anon and have found great people there that are going through the same thing. The slogan for Al Anon is let go and let God. There is nothing that we can do for our children, but our grandchildren can be helped by just being there for them. They need all the love and support that we can give them. Also remember, as soon as they are old enough to understand they need to know the truth that their mom or dad are sick and it is not their fault that their parents are not there for them, that way they do not feel guilty for their parents using. Keep talking and don't hold everything in, same goes for the little ones, the more they can communicate how they feel the better they will feel. About the guilt you feel, I did the same for a long time but now I can look back and say I did everything I could for my daughter, now it is time for her to help herself. Don't except the guilt, she made the choice to use, you didn't force her.
