[QUOTE="DDD, post: 61500, member: 35"] I don't mean to be melodramatic but have you read the post from tpcmom whose easy child was shot to death while with her difficult child. This s.a. stuff is NOT child's play. It is important that both parents force themselves to see the multi-faceted trickle down results that come from difficult child choices. It is my opinion that the substance abuse begins as a teen bonding thing with no idea of where the path may lead. Sady, it compounds the longer the use continues and before the difficult child even recognizes it strangers are involved, either buying or selling. The strangers are just that...the difficult child is no longer just hanging out with a few buddies...bad dudes have entered the picture. Ants Mom, Janet, has had violent strangers at her door. (She by the way grew up as the daughter of a Judge, not in a ghetto either.) We had two "strangers" break out the glass of our garage side entry door in BROAD DAYLIGHT. Fortunately no one was home at the time. (Oh yeah, I grew up attending debutante parties and never even saw ghetto people.) Horrible, permanent, things can happen. I pray they don't for any of the CD family...or other families. DDD PS: My Dad made a point of reaching out to fellow AA members when family stress escalated. Many of his friends fell off the wagon because they trusted "they" could handle it alone. [/QUOTE]
