New to this and feeling lost. My addicts are my step daughter and her husband. The anger I feel towards them is unbelievable. They have young children, and my husband and I are looking at uprooting our lives to take care of those children. I feel helpless, like everything I have worked for in life must now be abandoned. My husband has been crushed with worry and despair. Our lives, our moods, our finances, friendships and relationships have been wrecked by other people’s poor decisions. I find it hard to not feel victimized. I am not a social person, and it is difficult for me to reach out for help, but right now I know I have to protect my own mental health to be there for my grandkids and husband. We are just starting out on this journey. No meetings exist in my area, so I am trying this. No one is in the chat rooms right now, but venting a little here has made me feel a little better. Thank you. – Lost Janet
I know how you feel Janet. My husband has been on a bender for 5 days now and i feel so helpless. My emotions go from one end of the spectrum to the other. I’ve called the emergency rooms atound.
I can’t imagine how it is with grandkids.! My husbands therapist said his brain has been high jacked by the drugs. It has to do with the chemicals in the brain. It is very difficult for me to understand I have a hard time wrapping my head around it all.
Your grandkids are lucky to have you.
