                sensitively told.  Thanks for the lesson.  I just posted one not nearly so uplifting.  I like yours better.  Love you!

                I do know what you mean. They will return just keep praying. They may have some extreme lessons to learn regarding their own children of the future. I am praying with both of you on your children issues. May God reunite all of you in full unity.

                    you toldthis so beautifully I had tears in my eyes as I read it.
                
                We should never give up hope should we. I agree with you though that we don'town the children we give birth to.....they are just in our care whilethey are in need of us so that they in turn can grow and be independent. They are God'snot ours....but sometimes as a Mum it can be tough tokeep remembering this.

                Honey the massive problem of drugs is not about weakness. It is a very complicated issue. Rx pain medication is one of the highest addictions around, particularly of children where they get them at home. I am so sorry about your daughter's friend and her family. It is an illness both emotional and physical and much more than just that. Bless you dear one, ease up on those who need a hand up, not out.

                Thank you for your caring and sweet words. The Lord does hold her in his hands. She will be back giving nurturing at the recovery center in October hoping to let them know there are lots of us out here who really care.

                There are families day in and day out who are just gone to drugs, whole families. Many different groups are making strides to get some of them off but it is a losing battle. I hate to be negative but if you can get one out of the situation they need to be away from the family.

                very sad and touchng story, I wonder why so many people in one family can be so weak to need drugs, my daughter has a friend, that has a sister, brother in law, brother and mom who are addicted to something.  The mom is addicted to precription pain pills, she is as bad as a addict addicted to meth or something else.  How does this happen?

                Sad story but a happy ending... I feel for your friend... the scars of neglect and the horrors of drug and alcohol  addiction run deep.  I hope the Lord holds her in His hands.  xoxo

                Justi - how unfortunate. One would definitely feel helpless in such a situation. Drug abuse, alcohol abuse..so rampant that so many families are broken up. Even 1 saved is something to shout about for sure.
