i am refusing to go to my daughters wedding should I go?

  • Posted on December 3, 2010 at 3:21 pm

My daughter has been with the same guy for 5 years and they have a two year old daughter. He has been off and on heroin for all those years. Now I find out she also has been on heroin. She was jailed for 4 weeks but she has been back home for 2 months. However she is showing signs of being back on the heroin again. He has been to rehab four times this year and just lost his good paying job because he failed yet another drug test. The only reason I let her stay with me is my grandchild. At least I know the baby is okay when she is home. NOW this loser is trying to talk her into marrying him. Of course he is, she has a decent job and is paying all his bills. Plus the more he gets her to use drugs the more control he has over her. I told her I couldn’t stop her but I refuse to go. It is so frustrating to watch your only child throw her life down the toilet, and drag this little baby with her. What would you do?

Why is my daughter refusing to help?

  • Posted on November 11, 2010 at 2:18 pm

I have a daughter who is an alcoholic. She has been in rehab 18 times. I think this is evidence enough that the poor thing is ill, and needs help, not criticism. I believe that we, as her family, need to rally around her to make sure that her needs are met and that she can get well. The problem is my 17 year old who simply refuses to be part of the family. She has been given everything, and’ like the Bible says, “Much will be expected of those to whom much is given.” This selfish girl refuses to do more so that her poor sister can get well. She is a straight A student and in student government. Why can’t she see that she is EXPECTED to give more so that we can attend to her sister? She has shown that she can “do it all,” so what’s wrong with expecting her to do more when she is obviously so capable? We want her to get a job so that we can give the money to her sister. Her sister has promised to do better if we will just buy her a car. I can’t understand why she won’t do this to help her sister. Isn’t that what family is for?
