[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One parent at the time. Don't pile on. You already told her you'd be there for her. She has your number.
I'm sure she want dad to get lost also.
And what's with the extremes? From being addicted yourself to calling her several times, and even making ex out to be a bad guy.
She needs time to think about things.[/quote]

NP but why are PPs criticizing a mother who “calls her daughter several times” after a drug overdose? And chastising her because she didn’t just “text her in a week?” What the ever loving F.

Yes, OP’s daughter is an adult and in charge of her own recovery, and yes OP has zero control in this situation. But reaching out by phone to her out-of-state daughter who was just hospitalized is not over-bearing or unreasonable.

OP, it is true that all you can do is share your concern for her well-being and let her know you are there for her, and will support her recovery. And just stay connected in a loving way. And yes - get to Al-Anon to deal with your own understandable worry and fear.[/quote]
