There is not alot of comfort in telling you to let go and let God.....but really it is the only salvation you have for you. ANd you yourself said, you can do nothing to help. You have laready tried everything.....it is time for you to focus on what you can impact positively. And that would be with the grand-babies. If you are worried about the twins.....THERE IS A REASON!!! Listen to your gut. If it is in the best interest to have the twins removed from her home, then that is what you need to do. When I was using, I didn't care about anything but getting high. I could tell you where my Meth was before I could tell you the last time my children ate. You can't live on the premise of what MIGHT be or MIGHT NOT be happening in your daughters home. If you have doubts, you are most likely right. This drug and the activities that go along with it, is not a good environment for children. Terri I abandoned my children 2 times for Meth and the Meth boyfriend. Save yourself and those babies any more pain and get them out of there. As for your grandson. Just give him as much love as you can. Because really that is all children need is love.

As far as your son. It is hard to say if he has permanent damage or not. I have seen meth do some pretty weird things to people, but I don't know if I have ever heard of someone still being delusional 20 days later. See if maybe the jail can get him some psychiatric attention. But this is a blessing him in jail. At least you know that one of your children is safe and off the streets for today. But if he has given up all that he had before, I would bet my last dollar that he is right back where he started. Just pray that he doesn't get out any time soon.

When people come here they all ask the same question, how will I know when they are done. THere is no definite on this, no two addicts are alike. They each reach there end in their own way. I will tell you this. To those in which are closest to the addict. The change will be unmistakeable. You will without a doubt know when they are being sincere. You will see a humble person, willing to listen and try anything to stop the cycle. And the hardest part of all that is.......is waiting. Keep your head up.....you are doing the right thing.

I pray that God will give you and your family some comfort.
