I really hope that is the case. There are no guarantees though.
Living with the Devil… You’ve been posting here for some time, and it’s admirable how much love and concern you put into your daughter. I don’t want to be blunt, but I also feel it is misguided.
It is time for you to Let Go. Seriously. These are demons you cannot battle for your daughter. Just be there when she reaches out for you, and remind her of how much you care, and of times before addiction took hold. It’s those moments that move an addict more than any jail time IMO.
Let go! Take a holiday, read a good book, go to some hot springs for the weekend, get a facial, whatever. Seriously. This is coming from someone who definitely tortured his family. Then I moved interstate. And my parents won’t admit it, but when I saw them a year later, they looked a helluva lot younger!
My parents had no control over my addiction whatsoever, no matter how much they tried. The only moments they ever got through to me, was when they helped me see what I was doing to myself, and doing to them.
Leave a photo album lying around.
