Talibabe said "It's so hard to stand still when the water is rising around someone we love. No wonder you can't sleep nights. I've been there, am there. The worst times come at about 5 a.m. I'll think of you then."
Yep. My time is at about 3 am.
I saw AD C yesterday. She looked bad. Looked high. So much for the suboxone.
The person who paid for the suboxone, B., a texted us and asked us to pay for her next visit and script tomorrow. My husband kindly responded that we had spent many years and thousands of dollars on treatment for C. And this time we would respectfully decline. He thanked B for his interest and concern for our daughter. B's response was disheartening, and expected. He said that C continued to visit her drug friends and her dealer...despite his efforts to try and help her.
I am proud of my husband's response. A year ago he would have given her the money.
