23. She wants her kids back...she wants to be a mom again...

I think she was almost detoxed before she began the program...Her main problem is (friends)...as long as she continues to pick losers for (friends) she is in danger of slipping...Her best (friend) (drug buddy) just got her kids back from state custody, a month and a half back. I just keep asking myself...can't she see where she is headed...She had the best significant other in the world...he kept her clean, they really loved each other. He had a heart attack and died in her arms and it has ben down hill ever since, major depression set in..she was treated by a Dr. but I guess it was not enough she began self medicating. I think if she would just quit blaming others. I don't know, I am rambling..thanks for your reply, life really sucks righ now.

I might know her. LiberalAndProud Jan 2012 #1
