[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 629327, member: 1967"] Suzir, please be mindful of the audience that is reading your posts. It is like pouring salt into wounds. All of us have wondered why our difficult child's are like they are. Your posts are suggesting that if we had been better parents, we could have overcome the genetics. I don't believe that is true. My difficult child and easy child are both biologically mine. They were raised with the same set of parents in the same home. Same rules, same values, and equally loved. The outcome? One difficult child and one easy child. Unfortunately difficult child lost the genetic lottery and ended up just like husband's brother. I don't think anything we could have done would have changed where she ended up and believe me when I say we have done everything humanly possible to help her fight her addiction and get help with her mental health issues. I am going to close this thread if this continues. This board is supposed to be supportive and kind and your posts are stirring up some very hurtful feelings. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
