[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 304686, member: 7948"] Marg ~ I think its g8 ur difficult child only has an addiction 2 religion. But in my experience it is not the same as polysubstance abuse in the mentally ill (dual dxd). might be delusional but not physical/emotional addiction To accuse me of 'attacking' Trish is misreading my posts at best and starting a flame at worst. I think we r all trying 2 share hard earned lessons we believe r helpful or apply. Motivation is evrything. Drug/alcohol addiction, by its very nature, becomes the focus of the addicts life. 2 believe otherwise is 2 deny reality. That is y Trish's efforts have not worked. with-o sobriety it is very hard 4 the dual dxd to do the things u r expecting. About the best u can hope 4 is harm reduction. google it Trish says her difficult child has already lived on the streets. If that was not enough to motivate him to change why in the world would he do it when his mother is giving him a place to live where he can do his drugs, get a square meal and b chaffeured around? Clearly Trish hasn't figured this out yet. When this was happening to us we felt so alone. We made many mistakes we might have avoided if we'd had access to this board and the honest feedback of other parents. I'm just trying to offer support ~ the kind that would have helped us. Its not always the kind of advice that's easy to hear. [/QUOTE]
