Last summer, I got her in rehab, she did well for about 4months. She is bipolar, diagnosed last summer, she is a heroin addict. She gets all this from me, so, I'm thinking I have destroyed my daughters life, its not fair. I have been drug free for almost 13yrs.. I'm pretty destroyed right now, but, I'm going to keep as busy as I can until Tdoc appt. Tues.. By the way. I was in the ER with a patient last night, U of M, and I saw the way they treated MI patients, please don't go to U of M. Thanks for listening!!!

I am SO sorry that this is happening. I agree that if she takes the right medicine and is good to herself that she can live many years with HIV. I'm sending hugs to you and your daughter. You shouldn't blame yourself for her drug use, it is her choice. You have been a good example by getting clean and that's all you can do. Hang in there..
