writes: I need advice on how to handle pain ,with drug addict family members. Sadly ,I have two children ,who both got got into crack and meth addiction. The causes are not clear, as they had good childhood, and stable parents with 0 substance abuse problems. Now they are in their early twenties, and it is absolute heart braking to be their mother. We went through on many things , you can imagine. Helped them, sent them to rehab, buT our life is destroyed for ever . Its about 10 years now.They were good kids, and never violent, also very bright. I would never think this could happen ,in my worst dreams. I always thought ,it is only in ''bad families''.Now I KNOW,it is not true. My question is, What else can I do , after ,I have tried everything? And how can I live, with such a grief? I feel,they can die any time, and they have some health problems too, what might kills them.They can die,or get paralyzed any time Horrible things happened to them already .Is there any way for me ,to still live a normal life? Or it is taken away from me ? Also ,what is your opinion,what is causing drug addiction,and what can be done to stop it? Thanks

Take care
