[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 513344"] Thank you all for the discussion.... you make some really good points... and Sig you make a good reminder about analysis is paralysis and this is his journey and his discovery. And I do not need to go back to figure out how i could have saved him when he was younger!!!! I do think at least with my difficult child that he uses drugs to numb his pain. I have said that to him and he has agreed so he can acknowlege that part... but he is very guarded about his inner feelings which is not how he was when he was young. I do think for him to go through recovery he needs to find healthier ways to deal with the pain and the shame he feels but i also think to do that he has to get what that pain is about... and that is where i think therapy is really important. I am hoping this therapist can break beyond his wall that he puts up. It is also true I do not need to know what it is all about... that is his business. I do have some ideas and thoughts which I shared with the therapist and now they have to go from here.... and I need to let it go. You are right this is not really part of my recovery. TL [/QUOTE]
