live this so much.. perfectly said mama tot.. this is me.. I'm this kind of mama with 3 boys and a girl and I try so hard. my 2nd oldest locked up. now a little over a year for a bad choice he made. I thank God it didn't end up worse. cause it could've. but I tried so hard to stop them from ending up on this path but he still did. no matter how much we love them or what we do raising isn't enough. they still go down they own path and make they own choices. some good, some bad

my daughter is in treatment right now...she is 15...I'm scared for her. she will be there till February and it breaks my heart that we got to this point....I'm scared when she comes home cause I'm afraid things are going to end up going back to what was....it was terrifying on what was going on...she became a danger to herself and me as well.i pray things change...I can't say what has already happened but I can tell you that I'm now on medication trying to cope with what I've seen and dealt with... I'm fighting for her still and she doesn't know why....I love her sooo much!!! it hurts me to know that if I didn't get her in treatment she could of been dead or missing or both.she is in drug and alcohol treatment and mental health treatment at the moment.

Momma Tot! You are speaking directly to me in this video, I am praying and trying to guide my child. I am so afraid for her and am doing all that I can. Our parenting struggles sound so similar, I pray daily I dont have to experience having to see that either. You are a true gift.
