Life is so unpredictable. Just when you think you have a few things figured out, a curve is thrown your way. My teenage daughter overdosed on February second. Luckily, she was not successful. She came home from a bad day at school and just decided she could not take it anymore....her emotional pain was too great at that moment.

Part of me thinks it is attention seeking behavior. Part of me wants to smack her senseless. She has always been a difficult person to live with under the same roof. Always a challenge, always defiant but very ,very bright.

My life has not been my own since February second. I am taking each day as it comes, trying to do what I think is best for her. I need wisdom beyond my years.
