May your daughter continue to recover. You have all been through a lot. I wish you peace and strength.

I have also been raising two kids not my own and I am in my late 60's. It is not easy. Though only one is a minor now. Not the same circumstances as yours but there was substance abuse, violence and child protection involved. It was harrowing for the children but they are well now. It's been 10 years.

Life really does throw curve balls sometimes. I was supposed to be living in Europe and travelling. But that's ok, the time may come for that still. I wouldn't trade my time with the boys for anything.
