Thank you so much. My daughter will not listen to anything i have to say. She suffers from too much drugs yet she is not addicted at all, I as her mother have worried about her since she got Chrohns at 24. You know the old saying you can lead a horse to water but you cant make them drink. She gets mad at me. So i am backing down and keeping my mouth shut. When she needs money she will call
I really appreciate you listening to me
Regards Esther Fox

Oh, Esther, I'm happy to listen and I do know exactly what you mean about the horse and water. That's a tough spot to be in...wanting more for someone than they want for themselves.

Taking medications can definitely alter one's thinking. Let alone the depression, fear, and anxiety that sets in from chronic conditions.

I had experience with too many meds and was addicted to medication, but not an addict. There is a big difference.

Does your daughter take addictive meds like opiates? Is she working with a competent care team?
