[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 263244"] Thank you everyone. We don't believe difficult child had any prior knowledge about the situation. She seem to be in shock when it happened. She has been depressed today. She is in denial...and she makes herself comfortable in that space by refusing to listen to any of the details or discussing it. husband and I went to a FA meeting today. We enjoyed it a lot...but it was as I thought it would be...99% of the families were there because their children are drug users. Our situations are "different," yet there are clear similarities. One thing is certain...we as parents have our own choices to make in all of this..llike how we might react (or not react). I did meet others who spoke about Al Anon and spoke highly of it. I had given difficult child info about that group and hope that she will go. husband has gotten more serious about some of the enabling he has engaged in with- reference to difficult child (not that I'm completely innocent of this by any means). difficult child lives in an apt. near our home. The great majority of her expenses are paid for through her disability coverage. husband spoke with- her today. She is allegedly suppose to be thinking about meeting with us to discuss this further...other things on the table...a "real" apology and the possiblity of her attending Al Anon. I hope for the best...but honestly, I'm not "invested" in any of this. Life moves on... [/QUOTE]
