DRUG ADDICTED BPD ADULT DAUGHTER

WE ADOPTED OUR DAUGHTER IN 1987 WHEN SHE WAS ONE MO. OLD. I AND HER FATHER DETERMINED TO MAKE UP FOR ANYTHING SHE POSSIBLY COULD HAVE MISSED BY THE FACT THAT WE WERE NOT HER BIOLOGICAL PARENTS. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED BY MUCH HEARTACHE AND RESEARCH THAT THE BOTH OF US HAVE BEEN ENABLING FOR YEARS. MY DAUGHTER MARRIED A DRUG ADDICT AND WE NOW HAVE CUSTODY OF OUR NINE MO. OLD GRAND DAUGHTER WITH A SERIOUS HEART CONDITION. I DO HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR BUT FEEL LIKE SUCH A FAILURE. JUST NEED TO BE IN TOUCH WITH OTHER PARENTS SINCE I CHOSE TO QUIT MY JOB TO GIVE OUR PRECIOUS GRAND DAUGHTER THE CARE THAT SHE NEEDS.
