[QUOTE="DDD, post: 116656, member: 35"] The holding pattern is a son-of-a-gun. The whole family suffers and the addict doesn't give a rats. I'm truly sorry that your son is not an exception to the rule. Believe it or not, I find myself rooting for "new CD difficult children" and trying to convince myself that somehow another family won't go down in flames. I'm sorry. Like some of the others I have suggested that you take Dancer and leave. I don't believe there is any chance that you will do that. Nobody knows which trauma will be harder on your easy child. To leave would be a heartbreaker...staying will be a heartbreaker. Lose/Lose I do not think you should intervene with the diversion officer. The addict has to be held responsible by others outside the family unit if there is ever going to be a positive ending. I wonder if wife, however, is ready to compromise in any way in order to keep you and Dancer from freaking out. Is there any chance that you could NOW insist that the three of you go to a family support group? If wife says "no way" then I should think as the other parent of Dancer you could quietly ask her if she would like to go to a group with you OR to a counselor to help sort through the issues. Sending caring thoughts. DDD [/QUOTE]
