My daughter

Posted by MamaBren in Untagged

Ana-Alicai ran away on 9/14/07, the day after her 17th birthday. She is a beautiful, smart, loving girl. She is also an addict. How did this happen? I blame myself. After I divorced her father she and her sibligns were never the same. Yes, I left an absive marriage, but I damaged my children in the process. I was so broken at that time, I didn't see their pain.

She is gone, has not been heard from or seen since, took to bus to Dallas. I miss her my heart is breaking, I can't breathe sometimes. Surely it would hurt less to be dead. Does God really give us so much pain that she needs to escape into drugs and I feel like I'm dying?

Please know I will keep you in my prayers and I pray for her safe return. I lost my only daughter to a motor vehicle accident in March of this year and | am heartbroken also. She was only 14 and a beautiful girl.

I donbt know why God took her but in doing so he has taken my love and my life. I know what you mean about not being able to breathe I feel that way too.

My name is Sue and feel free to send me an email.

My heart hurts for you--I hope that in time she will recover and return. You are making the same mistake I did for a long time until recovered drug addicts and recovered alcoholics taught me--regardless of why your daughter started using, she is using now (since you say she's an addict) because she is an addict. They are the first to explain that it's not about having a bad day or even a bad childhood, it's about being addicted.
