i believe your daughter's drug use goes beyond the physical and emotional addiction.

i have listened to an addict explain "why" he escaped through drug use . . . he said that he "wanted to get as close to death as he could get" without dying and that each time he used, he tried to get closer. i sensed he wanted to die.

the shame your daughter feels for not being the kind of mother she desires to be with her 6 years old, will help that cycle of addiction to continue. i believe she uses meth because she doesn't care if she dies.

how do you help someone who is suicidal? you can't "shame" them into counseling or rehab. somehow she has to find something worth living for . . . something worth getting well for . . . .

just my two cents

i would be "torn" too. ((((((((((((((((fayerody))))))))))))
