OMG  You're going thru hell right now! I'm so sorry.  It's got to be a zoo! I can truly understand why you feel like you do!  I just caught my granddaughter smoking POT today! Needless to say I wasn't very pleased -- she's grounded til the end of the school year.  She's 16 -- and she's already in counseling. I'm gonna have a talk with her counselor on Monday. 
But I don't have to contend with what YOU are going thru!!! I think I'd lose my mind. And even tho I've been sober for a LONG time, I'm not sure I could STAY sober with all that to deal with. I'm being honest here --- that's a LOT to contend with. I sure would need a LOT of meetings!!! I'm proud of you for not drinking -- you're doing great!! 
Just keep this in mind -- this won't last forever. And when kids screw up, they must pay the consequences or else they will continue to screw up. If we keep tripping the land-mines for them, they'll never learn. It's called "tough love." Don't drive yourself insane over this. The kids WILL survive this, and so will YOU.  What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. LOL Just end your day KNOWING that you did the very best you could -- that's ALL you can do. You can't do any more than that. But don't lose your sanity over it, cause it's not worth it. You won't be any good for anyone if you're locked up in the nuthouse. LOL Just take care of YOU for a change -- you're getting all worn out.
You got sober & then all this stuff happened to you all at once -- you haven't had a moments rest -- I think you're exhausted. You need some rest -- and alot of it! Try to get some, before you fall apart. God bless & keep me posted. Hugs, Lee
