[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 110520, member: 3647"] Just popping in to offer support. The other gals are right. Honesty is the best way. You guys (starting with girlfriend) could tell girlfriend's son that your difficult child is sick and is at the hospital getting well. Not a lie. I would imagine that your disdain for your addicted sibling(s) might be what is keeping you from sharing the truth about your own difficult child. Well, addiction is a disease (like diabetes) and you don't have to be ashamed of it. Glad your horrid day with the family is over. Something to think about, just because only one sister has a diagnosis, does not mean that she is the only one with a disorder. Keep going to your meetings and sharing here. Draw strength and support from others. You'll get through this. [/QUOTE]
