[QUOTE="DDD, post: 513317, member: 35"] I think most of us have analyzed to find the root problem. In our case I know when and why then easy child/difficult child got off the track and headed down the s.a. road. Some of us attribute the dive into addiction to early childhood trauma, or abuse exposure or mental health root issues. But finding, or thinking we found, triggering factors does not solve the problem nor does it lead to recovery for our difficult children, in my humble opinion. It is what it is. Our difficult children have chosen to follow an addiction course. We can not get into their heads or their bodies to change that course. Somehow, someway they have to make difficult choices to make their lives healthier. I would literally give up my life if it would guarantee healthful living for my addict. That is not an option. Detaching as much as possible to regain some quality of life for myself and the rest of the family is the best I can do. One baby step at a time. It's still hard! DDD [/QUOTE]
