 It's funny how addiction hits. My father was an addict,not on his own accord but because he had a bad disease and was addicted to prec. pills. Other then that there is not any addiction in our immediate family. My daughter's biological donor on the other hand was an addict when I was married to him. It's funny because the last time she seen him was when she was 6 yrs old and didn't have that much contact with him before that because we were divorced when she was 8 months old. When I look at her now, I see him all over again. She acts just like him and has no work ethic or morals just like him. It's really sad that she followed in his path and wasn't even raised around him. I guess that is why her addiction is so hard to understand. She was raised in a good home with a stepfather that tried his best to get through to her but she never gave him a chance. She was 10 yrs old when we got married. She had so many opportunities but never took advantage of one. I think she always felt that her dad didn't want her so she felt rejected and of course I felt sorry for her and that didn't help. But why would someone throw away so many things for this stupid drug? She was a young mother, but could have made it if she would have just taken advantage of the opportunities that were put before her. Sorry to go on but it is so hard to watch one of your children fall so hard and there is nothing you can do but do the right thing and hurt them more by doing it. I'm so glad that I can come here and vent because I'm sure that everyone I know gets tired of hearing about it and I feel safe venting here because everyone here is dealing with the same horrible problems. Thanks for listening.
