[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 396458, member: 59"] Add me to those who don't understand. I watch my difficult child who would rather sleep on someone's floor or not know where she's going to sleep one night to the next rather than clean up and come back home where she has a nice room and food and shelter and a family. I don't understand how she can give this all up for what??? Why would she rather wonder what she's going to eat that day or how she is going to get somewhere. I look at her choices and it makes me so sad because if it were me I would do anything to get back what I had. Why does she want to live this way? How can she be happy? I keep going back to what they told us in rehab, that when they are using it is the most important thing in their lives, that this disease is cunning, baffeling, powerful and sophisticated and it takes over their mind and that's what they live for and that we don't understand because we are not alocoholics/drug addicts. I will never understand how this life is better than the one they could have. No matter how many stories like ours I read or hear about I am always struck by how we walk the same paths, our stories are all the same. Just change the name of our difficult child's but the stories are the same. Nancy [/QUOTE]
