Hi there my name is Darlene and my daughter is an addict…I am struggling with many a thing and have a hard time letting her own this addiction. I don't even know where to start other than I am constantly under stress, I pay for a lot of her stuff including her car and scared if I set boundaries she will turn the other way and go farther down the dark path. Looking for any advice

Hey Darlene,
My name is Teresa and my son is an addict. I have not been on here in a long time, but I saw your post and it was like "yay, someone who understands how I feel." I have those same thoughts every time my son asks for money. I don't have any advice, but I am keeping my eyes open for any suggestions from others. Thank you. My son always asks me when he knows I can't possibly go and physically pay for whatever the latest "emergency" is myself, like when I am at work. He comes there and stands around until I deal with him, which means I give him money to get him to leave so I keep my job!

Hello Darlene and Teresa, I wish I had advice but I don’t and would welcome any. My 28 year old son has been an addict for 13 years but has recently escalated to fentanyl, I give him small amounts of money on a weekly basis and I know it’s wrong. He lives 6 hours away and his drug use is killing him, I honestly don’t think he will make it another 3 months. I am a mental mess and live in fear every second of every day and just want to have a normal life without anxiety and fear and worry. It’s a parent’s worse nightmare.
