[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 657114, member: 11791"] That would be my theory. Between the trauma she suffered, and then the years of drug use... parts of her thinking are behind in development. That is going to take time, and work. The fact that she is staying there and confronting this stuff is a good thing. But it isn't a "switch" that can be turned off. The "reaction" process has to be replaced with higher-level thinking. Understanding cause and effect. Weighing options, seeking help before doing something. Things that many typical kids learn as teenagers - and many of "our" kids (with substance abuse or not) seem to have to learn over and over before they get it. [/QUOTE]
