I wish there was more I could have done
This may the unpopular. First off I know the person has to want help to get help but what if they are in so deep they cant even think straight enough to get help?
I am mad, I feel more should or could have been done. When the cops are called on your daughter who is high and running the streets naked how is she not a threat to herself? Or when she is found high squatting in a garage how is she just told to leave? A drunk would have been picked up. I spoke to the police multiple times and begged for them to call crisis if they saw her again but it never happened. I called crisis but never had an address. Instead I got the dreaded knock at the door, 2 police offers saying can I come in?. Her boyfriend who I gave his name multiple times gets pulled in for a few days and I would bet they never even spoke to him about my daughter's death, yet I am sure he called 911 but left the scene.
I just feel we should have better ways to help them. I know my daughter was in over her head and the addiction was too strong, but I also know she didn't want to die.
Maybe I am making no sense but I just wanted to get these thoughts out. Thanks for listening and yes I am in meetings and counseling but I also have a little boy who misses his mommy also.
