Hey man, I'm sorry to hear this. I hope that she gets better real soon; having a sick relative is horrible.

You know your family is all here if you need anything!

I can only imagine the tough road ahead. Prayers for you and your family my friend.

Hope everything works out for the best. Is it possible for you to get her checked in to a rehab place to essentially force her to quit? Then while she's gone maybe the addict BF will go on his way and get all that problem away from you, her, and the little ones. I can personally say it is HARD to kick a habit whether slow and steady or cold turkey but it can be done. Never give up hope as one day something will click and she'll realize what's happened and it will all be better. Until that day just stay strong and keep hope alive.

i have no doubts she needs something for pain because she has torn out both knees fractured her pelvis and has 2 crushed vetibraes in her back with arthur set in but there has to be a way to get her off these opiods and get her on something to maintain her pain either another med or a form of non medicational therapy but first my family and i have to get her to admit she has a problem. she had a rough bout being a teenager if she could find a way to hurt herself she did! she is now 25 and all those injuries are catching up to her.

I don't know how I missed this. I'm sorry to hear of the addiction. I have someone in my family that was the same way but with alcohol. He finally saw the light and is now doing well. Good things can happen. Be stong and supportive but give tough love when it is necessary.

One thing I learned is that they have to want to help themselves before you can help them.

It's sad when the kids know what is going on. Take care of them and protect them the best you can.

My family will be praying for you.

i too have family members that struggle with addiction. one in particular is doing better than he ever has in his life, and i do think that prayer had something to do with it. his mind is never going to be the same again, but he is off drugs, and realizes how good life can be, even if you're not fried all the time. i hope your daughter and her boyfriend will find a way out, and can take care of the children involved.
